I have been involved in botanical education with diverse groups and communities for over twenty years.My PhD (Sussex university) questioned the educational role of botanic gardens. One of my current projects involves a special needs primary school in London in which we are developing a new curriculum project where the experience of nature is at the heart of our school culture. As part of this project we've used a dokuwiki to document our journey http://natureofexperience.com, we have also been using flip cameras extensively to document our childrens learning experiences and used them to review our work as teachers. One of my favourite blogs,as a teacher is 'passionately curious'.

I love this concept! I know how gardening has so many positive effects in my own life, and I can see that it would be a powerful teaching/learning tool!
It looks interesting and I was immediately grateful for the guide to protecting your privacy on facebook. I must now add some info about me. Trouble is I never find time to check into these sites! Hope you are well and enjoying the weather!
