How to Set Up a School Garden
4. Find an appropriate garden site
It is preferable to have the garden in the school grounds or adjacent to them, even if it requires a special effort to prepare an area. If there is no space for gardening at the school, the local authorities or nearby farmers may be able to lend some land. When selecting the land, the help of parents, volunteers and knowledgeable farmers will be important to find out the natural limitations at the site (soil, water availability, weeds, etc.). Their advice is also helpful to determine how much work is necessary to overcome these limitations.
