To know that every night approximately one billion peoplego to bed hungry and that each year we lose five millionchildren to poor nutrition is something truly bothersome.In developing countries, one of every three children suffersfrom malnutrition.

Many intelligent and sophisticated policy makers and con-sumers in America have an incomplete understanding ofthe role plant nutrients play, even though those same plantnutrients are a significant part of the answer in bringingforth another green revolution for the world’s hungry.

Critical crop nutrients are sustainably produced in NorthAmerica and can help grow the very foods needed around the world. However, effortshave fallen short to show the basic synergy between healthy soils, healthy plants, andnitrogen, phosphate and potassium. Absent this basic understanding of crop nutrition science, many people in North America have become convinced that “fertilizer” is anunnecessary additive to our food supply.

So you can imagine the pride felt when Mickenlie and Rylee, two young ladies from a tinyhigh school in Idaho, donned their blue FFA jackets and stood in front of over 600 fertil-izer industry leaders from around the world. Gathered in Chicago, these FFA studentsdescribed their experience teaching the residents of their home town, Hansen, Idaho, howimportant fertilizers are, not only to their community, but to the world at large.

Imagine the power of having hundreds of FFA chapters around the country educatingtheir communities and schools about the science of plant nutrients, as well as the effortsthat are being made by all sectors in agriculture to sustain our soils, water, and wildlife,while producing more food per acre on less land and with less water.

Imagine thousands of teachers teaching the science-based curriculum developed by theNutrients for Life Foundation, explaining to their students about the science of healthysoil and healthy plants. It’s all within our grasp, but we need to be proactive and act on it.

The Nutrients for Life Foundation with its great staff, has made remarkable strides in itsshort history and has started the process that we as an industry have fully committed to.The Foundation is working with educators around the country to provide a science-based teaching tool, reviewed by the prestigious Smithsonian Institute, and meeting thestrict National Science Education Standards is something for us all to showcase.Teachers are seeking this new science-based curriculum along with the excellentresources from the International Plant Nutrition Institute, to help provide a basic understanding of where our food really comes from.

In this issue, you will read of several success stories from across the country by the smallstaff of the Nutrients for Life Foundation, but it’s not enough. We need the Mickenlie’sand Rylee’s and the FFA chapter in your community teaching about fertilizers. We needscience teachers in your local schools equipped with correct information about soil andplant nutrition. Finally, we need your help to communicate the facts about fertilizers askey components in plant and soil science. For people afflicted with malnutrition andhunger, fertilizer holds such promise and opportunity to take these diseases out of theequation, and hopefully someday with its use feeding the world won’t be just a promise,but a reality.

Sincerely,Garrett Lofto

Nutrients for Life is Strong and Growing

{ }I just finished ordering pumpkin seeds for the 2012 crop onmy farm. In addition, I am keeping a watchful eye over thestrawberry fields. Each spring brings renewed energy, excite-ment and optimism on the farm, just as it does in the class-room.

At a time when our school district budgets are razor thin,the challenges in education are many. Science teachers areintegrating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics) into their classrooms, which encouragesexploration in the various fields of science. Nutrients forLife was formed seven years ago with the primary goal ofcreating and distributing free-of-charge credible plant andsoil science resource materials to help educate students allover the world. Fourth-graders across the country arerequired to learn about soil science and nutrients’ role inplant health. Similarly, science standards for our older stu-dents encourage learning plant and soil science in biology,environmental science and others. At Nutrients for Life, weare not only proud to be a leader in this area of educationbut pleased to be a strong and growing non-profit educa-tional foundation.

With last year’s release of Nourishing the Planet in the 21stCentury for elementary students, we completed theSmithsonian-approved trilogy. In addition, we have an entire

toolkit available for your use to enrich these lessons andyour classroom – from posters to flashcards to activities –that your students will enjoy!

As we have grown to include over 2,000 unique donors in2011, we are looking to expand our teacher offerings in 2012and beyond. With this strong and broad financial support, weare able to provide our educational materials to you for free.

Nutrients are critical to the availability of healthy foodacross the world, including here in the United States. Withthat in mind, Nutrients for Life has committed to a neweducational exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum ofAmerican History in Washington, D.C., on the transforma-tion of food from 1950 to 2000. The exhibit will open inAugust 2012 and will showcase how food production haschanged in the last 50 years including fertilizer’s role inincreasing food availability for all.

As a Master Gardener and farmer, understanding plant andsoil science is critically important to me, just as it is to youas a science teacher.

! Mickenlie: Good morning. I amMickenlie Baxter, the student advisorand past president for the Hansen,Idaho FFA Chapter, and Rylee Brown,our chapter vice-president, joins me thismorning. Nearly 2 years ago, our FFAchapter took interest in the programHelping Communities Grow put on bythe Nutrients for Life Foundation.When we heard of the program, weinstantly felt it was a natural fit for ourchapter since we had established aschool garden that previous summer.Besides, what small student organiza-tion in a town of about 900 peoplewouldn’t be interested in the $7,000 first place prize?

! Rylee: The challenge was simple; use our FFAmembers to partner with a local fertilizer dealer andany other community organizations to help educatethe public about fertilizer - what it is, how it is usedall around us, and its absolute necessity in feeding ahungry world. We had fun with this project!

! Mickenlie: The first year, webegan by learning about fertilizerin class. The curriculum providedby the Nutrients for LifeFoundation was most helpful.Then, we presented to elemen-tary classes, relating the impor-tance of plant nutrition to humannutrition. High school studentsdeveloped and displayed posters,showing basic fertilizer facts at alittle higher level, such as “Whatis Potash and where does it comefrom?” We then partnered withthe city of Hansen to develop

and distribute pamphlets door-to-doorabout lawn and garden fertilizer applica-tion and watering tips.

! Rylee: We came up with a slogan:“What’s for dinner? Fertilizer is at the rootof it.” We invited a local fertilizer dealer(Landview, Inc.) to help pay for 12 roadsidesigns with the slogan on them. We placedthem along a 10 mile stretch of a busy statehighway near our town. The company wasalso happy to provide fertilizer for a smalltrial plot of sweet corn in our garden. Itwas open for public display. We made sev-

eral copies of a handout explaining how fer-tilizer affects our lives, which we distributed with freshproduce sold from our roadside stand.

! Mickenlie: We were elated to win the contest thefirst year, but assumed we would not be able to par-ticipate the second year because we had already won.When we found we could, we immediately beganbrainstorming new ideas and put a different twist onthings. We started with the classroom curriculum

again and the elementary schoolpresentations; this helped us focuson the message we were attempt-ing to relay to the entire commu-nity. We expressed interest to thecity about having a fertilizer edu-cation day, and they suggested wecombine it with their annualArbor Day Celebration. We gotthings organized and providedfree lunch to the 100 or so com-munity members who came. Ourstudents helped present awards toelementary students who partici-pated in the Arbor Day coloring

contest. We invited six area fertilizer dealers to donate doorprizes and set up educational displays. Even though fertilizercompanies are incredibly busy in April, we felt their partici-pation was outstanding. Our annual chapter banquet includ-ed a program insert about the fine menu we had and impor-tance of fertilizer in producing every bit of it.

! Rylee: Four of the companies we worked with then con-sented to help sponsor a 10 by 30 foot billboard along the statehighway near our town. So for the past 5 months, we havebeen proud to have our chapter name posted with theirs, mak-ing the public just a little more aware of how important fertil-izer is in their lives. Our successful bid for the $7,000 1st placeaward for two years in a row has done a lot for the morale ofour small community and school. Our chapter members havebeen happy to invest some back into our community with new“Welcome” signs. We invested a portion of our prize money in

10,000 strawberry plants – a small expansion of our schoolgarden. We also have plans to fund and build several benchesfor seating in our school hallways. Planning and building anoutdoor classroom for the school is also in our plans.

! Mickenlie: For Hansen Idaho FFA, collaborating withfertilizer supply companies was a win/win experience. Wewill continue working with them in the future and feel theywant to do the same. CropLife Magazine featured one compa-ny for a national award, which they say was in part due to theactivities involved in the Helping Communities Grow program.We had four companies offer to supply fertilizer for our gar-den this year, and one even built and donated a set of bleach-ers for our football field. We are just one small FFA chapterof the 7,489 nationwide. With a little incentive, I am sure anFFA chapter near you is eager to partner with your companyin Helping Communities Grow. Thank You.

The Foundation wants to get teachersinspired! In a recent issue, teachers wereencouraged to ‘force’ root growth from tulipbulbs in a glass container, creating a liveexample of root and plant growth inside theclassroom during winter months. In anoth-er activity, science teachers were encouragedto collaborate with the Nutrition or Healthclasses to prepare a tasty dish from one ofNutrients for Life’s recipe cards. Through inquiry explorationand group discussion, students analyze and compare the nutri-tional value of the dishes to the nutrients plants from the reciperequire to grow. At the end of the lesson, students from bothclasses will be surprised to learn that in our food dishes, fertiliz-er is one of the main ingredients.

The Nutrients for Life newsletter recently debuted ready-to-golearning assessments that allow teachers to calculate quick andinsightful statistics about their students’ background knowledgein soil and plant science. These pre-and post-tests are designedusing the learning objectives established for the Nourishing thePlanet in the 21st Century curriculum, and tests are available forelementary, middle school and high school. Teachers give thepre-test before they begin the lessons as a means of measuringhow much students already know about the topic. At the con-clusion of the lessons, the students take the post-test to meas-ure their ability to apply knowledge or perform a specific task.

These tests can provide powerful infor-mation to help an educator determinepacing and content emphasis in a lesson.

Other items introduced through thenewsletter include flashcards and ourNPK poster. Teachers can use our flash-cards to play a fun game (Around theWorld, Beat the Clock, or Circle Up),

or test students’ plant, and soil science knowledge. Althoughdesigned specifically for the Nourishing the Planet in the 21stCentury elementary curriculum, some teachers use these cardswith the middle and high school curriculum for review, rein-forcement, and in building a platform for more difficult topics.The NPK resource poster is very popular and shows a boy witha soccer ball and a sprouting corn plant to introduce the conceptthat plants, like humans, need nutrients to live and grow strong.

Aquality soil sample is essential for optimum plant health and growth. Whether on a large scale farming operation or a backyard garden, these tests can give you valuable

information about the land and help you keep plants healthy and harvests bountiful.

Soil tests provide information onnutrients in your soil fromAluminum to Zinc, not to mention

providing measurements of organic matter,soil pH, microbial activity, and even nema-todes present in your soil. Why is there such

an emphasis on these tests? Master Gardner’s Professor-in-Charge at Iowa State University,Cindy Haynes states, “It is important to do a soil test before starting a garden, because it tells youwhat you need and just as important what you don’t need. Taking soil samples are always recom-mended.” Many plants are capable of growing in different areas of the country; however, theythrive in areas where their basic growth requirements are met. Soil and climate weather are thetwo main determiners of plant’s success.!

Although we cannot control the weather, we can improve our soil. Furthermore, an accurate soilsample is essential for responsible and effective fertilizer application.!A plant will shows signs ofstress when they are deficient in nutrients. Some plants will have yellow leaves, or produce fewblooms and fruit. It is best practice to have soil tests done before starting a new garden, but a testis also a great way to get answers to existing problems. The sample results will let you know whattype of fertilizer best fits the needs of your garden, lawn or field.!

Determine the sample area dependent on soil types and topography. Smaller gardens withoutmuch variance only require a sample of soil from one area. Larger gardens or lawn or an areawith significant differences should have multiple samples from different points of the area. Use asoil probe or another device that enables you to extract a shallow (6” deep) sample from theground, such as a shovel. Depending on the size of the area, you may have ten to fifteen samples.

Keep inmind not all plants thrive in the general optimal standards, for instance, azalea bushesprefer slightly more acidic soil (between 4.5 and 6.0).!The hydrangea plant is uniqueand will show what is in the soil through the color of its bloom. If the pH level is 6.0-6.2, the plant will bloom pink. The hydrangea will have a blue bloom when the pH levelis 5.0-5.2. The intensity of the color would depend on where the pH level is. It is a goodidea to research the plants in your garden and familiarize yourself with their soilrequirements.!Knowing your soil and your plants will give you optimal results. Onceagain, if you have any questions with this process contact your local garden store or localextension agronomist for assistance.

A soil test is a valuable tool, especially when used on a yearly basis. Get the most out ofyour garden by making informed decisions about fertilizer application. Finally, do notwait until a visual sign of stress appears in your garden before seeking a solution. Doyour soil a favor and get a soil test to guarantee the best success in 2012 and beyond!

Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia gives visitors a first-handlook at the intimate details of 18th century living, fromdress to jobs to survival. Nutrients for Life’s spokesperson

and blogger, Dee McKenna, writes about her trip to ColonialWilliamsburg, where she toured the beautiful and historically accu-rate winter gardens and learned about our Founding Fathers gar-dening practices.

Can you imagine gardening in the 18th century? If not, I suggestyou visit Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia; historians have done afantastic job re-creating early Americangardens. Garden historians have used thewritings of John Randolph who penned,A Treatise on Gardening in 1793, as aguide to rebuilding the Williamsburg gar-dens. Here is a snippet of Mr. Randolph’sadvice to the 18th century gardeners,including many of our founding fathers:

“January. Prepare, hot beds for cucum-bers; as little can be done this month in the garden, I wouldadvise the preparing of your dung, and carrying it to yourbeds, that it may be ready to be spread on in February.”!

I recently had the opportunity to attend aNutrients for Life business meeting inColonial Williamsburg. Thankfully, meet-ing organizers allowed time for this eagergardener to tour the historical area. Thereare twenty-six gardens available for view-ing in the Colonial Williamsburg district.I had time to visit one, which gives me theexcuse to plan a family vacation to tourthe other twenty-five when they are in fullbloom. I admit, it’s not as exciting asDisney, but it is a moment in Americanhistory that is worthy of an educationalfamily vacation.

I wasn’t sure what to expect in earlyDecember in a Zone 7 garden; to mydelight, the Colonial Garden and Nursery

was full of cold hardy crops. As I walked through the simple andfunctional garden, I saw rows of cabbage, cauliflower, beets, lettuce,and then a huge thistle. The historical gardener on the premisescorrected me in a question and answer session. The large thistle-looking plant was actually a type of artichoke called chardoon.Fascinating information (and I’m not being sarcastic)! Chardoon iseaten like celery, however not as tasty, which is why it’s not com-monly seen in any of our gardens.

The garden plants were protected from the frigid air with bell jars,hoop covers, and cold frames. I wasimpressed with the large amount andvariety of crops growing and felt a littleashamed of my winter garden – wellactually, I don’t even have a winter gar-den! The Colonial Garden and Nurserywas an excellent example of what a win-ter garden could be. In defense of mynon-existent winter garden, they havetwo full time garden historians (dream

job) each working forty-hours a week in this garden.

The historical significance of these gardens are promoted by M.Kent Brinkley and Gordon W. Chappell intheir book, The Gardens of ColonialWilliamsburg. Brinkley and Chappellexplain,

“Gardens have always been an importantaspect of the Williamsburg scene, bothin the eighteenth century and todaywhen at least three generations havecome to appreciate this town and its gar-dens as an integral part of America’s his-torical heritage. Colonial Williamsburg’spolitical and historical legacy is wellknown, but despite its popularity, rela-tively few realize that in addition tobeing an important political and culturalcenter in eighteenth-century Virginia,Williamsburg was a center of gardeningactivity.”

Through the Garden Gate

I personally don’t thinkthe basics of gardening inthe 18th century are allthat different from the

21st century.{ }

This book is a great read prior to yourvisit the historical area, however it provedto be a bit boring for my two, five, and ten-year-oldgirls. I pause and consider that as our foundingfathers were creating the Nation’s political frame-work, they were also involved in their own foodproduction. Their survival tied directly to govern-ing the New World and just as importantly, howto manage the land for food production.

I personally don’t think the basics of gardening inthe 18th century are all that different from the 21stcentury. Gardening has evolved but the basics ofpreparing the seedbed; germinating seeds and car-ing for a plant remain similar. It’s the same environ-ment and soil that John Randolph wrote about in1793. The soil continues to be the main ingredient to a garden’ssuccess. As Mr. Randolph suggested, soil fertility is key to a boun-tiful harvest. If plants pull up substantial amounts of nutrients,the soil must be replenished in some way.!

Although the basics of gardening remainthe same, the way we eat is radically differ-ent compared to 18th century. Thankgoodness I don’t have to grow and pre-serve enough food to last our family theentire year; I can barely keep up with thelaundry. For example, materials like dungthat Mr. Randolph mentioned, animalremains, and potash salts made from

wood ashes were the primary ingredientsused to replace nutrients in the soil.

Farmers relied on whatever was available locally. Asthis nation became less agrarian, science and tech-nology allowed production agriculture to be moreprecise and accurate at managing soil fertility andmore efficient at raising the crops that feed the sevenbillion mouths inhabiting this earth. During theIndustrial Revolution, companies began producingfertilizers that are more reliable. Farmers now haveadditional options to maintaining soil fertility. Inaddition to better products, farmers have GPS-guided machinery and precise fertilizer blends touse every nutrient applied to the soil efficiently.

As our current policy makers continue to make and change poli-cy, I hope they will continue to remember, as our farming found-ing fathers knew, how valuable our soil is in feeding this great

Nation. I’m reminded of a NormanBorlaug quote: “Civilization as it is knowntoday could not have evolved, nor can itsurvive, without an adequate food supply.”

The Mosaic Express Rides in Florida

SP

16 The Mosaic Company and Nutrients for Life teamed up tobring Florida’s phosphate industry to life for more than 1004th and 5th graders at Myakka City Elementary on

December 8, 2011. Through The Mosaic Express, Mosaic’s mobileeducation exhibit, students embarked on an educational journeythrough the history, operations and benefits of Florida phosphateand its importance to global farming and food production.

“And the best part is that it’s interactive learning. Every exhibitinside The Mosaic Express has something you can touch, push,spin or slide,” said Kaley Miller, Mosaic’s Manager –Communications, to the students.

The Mosaic Express was developed in partnership with CreativeArts Unlimited, Inc., of Pinellas Park, Florida, a company that hasbeen designing and fabricating high-end, custom interior featuresfor restaurants, museums and other interactive venues since 1992.Since its debut in 2010, the Mosaic’s 42-foot custom motor coachhas hosted approximately 31,000 people interested in learning moreabout Florida phosphate operations.

The students excitedly explored the exhibits, including prehistoricfossils, illuminated maps and moving draglines, while seekinganswers to an accompanying scavenger hunt designed to reinforce

key points. After reviewing all the answers with the students, eachreceived a goody bag with additional educational materials –including the “Fun with the Plant Nutrient Team” booklet.

“This booklet will teach you about the major plant nutrients ascharacters in a variety of activities like word puzzles, coloring, mazesand experiments,” said Joan Kyle, Nutrients for Life Florida RegionalRepresentative. Kyle talked to the children and teachers about theNutrients for Life Foundation and the essential role that nitrogen,phosphate and potassium play in feeding our growing world. Thisbooklet is available to order, along with a wealth of resources forteachers and students, online at www.nutrientsforlife.org.

The Mosaic Express incorporates agriculture, geology, biology, ecol-ogy and engineering - all disciplines that play a role in Florida’sphosphate industry and complement the Nutrients for Life curricu-lum. The interactive exhibit encourages visitors to push buttons,spin wheels and slide panels to reveal narrative and moving images -creating a dynamic and memorable experience for all ages. As theteachers found the visit enlightening for themselves and their stu-dents, they wondered where the 42-foot custom motor coach wouldbe visiting next.

“While The Mosaic Express occasionally visits schools like MyakkaCity Elementary that are close to our Florida operations, our coreoutreach is to children and adults at public educational events, fairsand festivals in central and southwest Florida,” said Miller. “We arepleased to offer this free interactive phosphate industry experienceon wheels – and encourage our neighbors to submit a request formfor their event online at www.mosaicfla.com.”

The Mosaic Express also occasionally makes visits to agriculturalevents outside the state of Florida, possibly somewhere near you.Check the schedule at www.mosaicfla.com.

The annual National Science TeachersAssociation (NSTA) conference is a

mainstay at the Nutrients for LifeFoundation. With colorful banners dis-played and stacks of curricula and maga-zines at our booth, the Nutrients for Lifeteam provides science teachers with infor-mation on the role plant nutrients haveour world. During the NSTA confer-ences, teachers attend workshops aboutthe latest in effectively teaching science, visit with exhibitors,and create a network of top professionals.

Building resources for science teachers has always been a corepriority for the Foundation; naturally, the NSTA conference isone of the biggest events of the year for the Foundation. “Myfavorite part of teacher conferences is the surprised reactionfrom a teacher when I get to tell him or her that we are able toprovide our resources and materials free of charge, which ismade possible thanks to our donors and members of theFoundation,” explains Julie Buratowski, education specialist forNutrients for Life.

For the past two years, Orlando AP science teacher and depart-ment head, Nancy Bridge has presented Nutrients for Lifematerials to her peers during hands-on workshops at theNSTA conference. Nancy Bridge explains her enthusiasm:

“If there was one total package that could be delivered tothe public about food production; it is the core message ofNutrients for Life of the essentialness of fertilizer in feed-

ing the world. Their curricula are well writtenand easily incorporated into any science cur-riculum K-12. When I present the curricula atNSTA, I speak to a diverse group of 50 to100 teachers with their own students, most ofwhom have no agriculture background. Theseteachers walk away with fun ideas that areclassroom ready, curriculum supplements, andhave challenged their own personal viewsabout the agriculture industry. What an awe-

some opportunity for the agriculture industry and theFoundation!”

healthy competition. Add a fun spin on assessing students’ knowledge byconverting our new periodic table of elements poster into a magnetic dartboard.

One of the Foundation’s latest materials for the classroom is the periodictable of elements. The poster highlights the elements essential to plants, suchas the primary macronutrients, secondary macronutrients, and the micronu-trients. After teaching lessons on soil and plant science from the Nourishingthe Planet in the 21st Century curriculum, teachers can review key concepts,quiz questions or use our curriculum-based flashcards to earn a chance tothrow a dart.

Dartboard Rules• Place students in heterogeneous teams.• With masking tape, mark a standing line four to twelve feet from the

board from which students can throw darts. Assign one student from eachteam as the official Line-Watchman; it is the Line-Watchman’s importantduty to referee the other team so they do not step over the line.

• When a student answers a question correctly, he or she gets to throw adart. Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), or Potassium (K) serve as thebull’s-eye of the game. If a steady handed student lands on one of thoseelements, they earn 10 points for their team.

• Landing on secondary macronutrients earns the team a decent 8 points. • If the contestant hits a micronutrient element, the team earns 5 points.• Finally, any other element on the periodic table earns the team 1 point.

May the sharpest students win!

Make Your Own Periodic Table Dartboard1. Purchase magnetic darts from a local toy store or

order them online. 2. Metal panels are available at your local hardware

store. Our periodic chart of elements postermeasures 24 x 36, so you should purchase ametal panel in at least those dimensions.

3. Simply use double-sided tape to attach the poster. 4. Finally, use an easel to prop up the dartboard or

hang it on the wall, and your class will be readyto take aim at soil science.E-mail us at info@nutrientsforlife.org with pic-tures of your own periodic table dartboard, andwe will send you an extra set of magnetic darts!Valid until July 1, 2012 or as long as supplies last.

CONTRIBUTED BY TANYA BLACK, NFL CANADA

With strong interest fromCanadian teachers, Nutrients forLife Canada announced the cre-

ation of The School Garden Network. TheSchool Garden Network (www.schoolgar-dennetwork.ca), is an online forum forschools to showcase their existing schoolgardens - sharing their stories, experiencesand resources to inspire the growth of newedible gardens across Canada.

School gardens are not a new phenomenonby any means, but have become an increas-ing trend across Canada and many parts ofthe world in recent years. In some develop-ing countries, a school garden is a means offeeding students and their families, and isused to teach youth skills that will allowthem to find work in the field of agriculture.In Canada, edible gardens in schoolsenhance academic achievement, and give stu-dents the opportunity to learn experientially.

Despite our long winters and shorter grow-ing seasons, school gardens are gaining pop-ularity with educators. They can provide apowerful platform to explore soil nutrition,plant life and food sustainability, and givestudents a chance to grow and deliver need-ed food to community members.

Nutrients for Life Canada sees the potentialin school gardens as not only an educationtool, but a way for youth to reconnect withthe agriculture and food supply system.Working with educators, agronomists andgarden experts, Nutrients for Life plans tolead the way in garden-based learning. Byproviding science-based resources and experi-ential learning opportunities for youth, weaim to bridge the disconnect between educa-tion and agriculture, teach youth about thesource of their food and encourage a cross-country dialogue about food security.

One of the challenges for teachers has beentrying to justify the effort and costs of main-taining a garden. Working with educators,Nutrients for Life Canada has identified anexhaustive list of potential linkages betweenan edible garden and mandated curriculumoutcomes. This new resource will be fol-lowed up with a menu of suggested activitiesthat teachers can employ to maximize theeducation value of the school garden.

The School Garden Network will provide:• Step-by-step how-to’s in order to start and

maintain a garden, based on a school’s loca-tion and the input of schools across Canada.Along with an online forum for teachers toexchange best practices and lessons.

• Linkages between garden-based learning,prescribed learning outcomes and curricu-lum.

• Connections to community organizationsthat can help build gardens throughexpertise, funding, volunteer support orin-kind donations and grants.

The creation of a Nutrients for LifeLearning Garden is also underway, whichwill showcase garden design and activitiesthat connect to key issues pertaining to soilnutrition. The Learning Garden will offer aspace to host workshops led by educators,Nutrients for Life Teacher Ambassadorsand agricultural/garden specialists. It willalso supply gardening opportunities and a

learning facility for schools unable to hosttheir own garden.

We are always delighted to share ideas andprogress with our Nutrients for Life col-leagues in the United States, and with com-mon goals and limited resources, there iseverything to gain by working together.

Nutrients for Life staff visited St. ThomasAquinas High School outside of Ottawa, tointerview students and teachers about theirschool garden experiences. The high schoolboasts a beautiful edible garden and green-house, which allows them to grow enoughproduce to donate to the local food bank.

You can see for yourself what they had tosay through the website at www.nutrients-forlife.ca.

School Garden NetworkLaunches in Canada

www.schoolgardennetwork.ca looks to showcase existing edibleschool gardens, and inspire the growth of new gardens across the

country. With an integrated social media component, it will serve as aplatform for discussion on plant nutrients, food security and sustainable

agriculture amongst Canadian youth.{ }
