My Garden
Teacher Page
The purpose of this web-quest is to introduce students to the idea that their food comes from a place other than the store. The students will be able to create a viable plan for growing their own food. The real world connection is only limited by the student. The concept of community gardening in an urban setting is easy to make and hopefully one that will be fostered by this quest and the teachers who use it.
