I recently dug up an old unit study I did on gardening and developing Christian character and shared it on a couple of forums I am active on.  Now converted to a pdf file with one correction, I offer my free gardening unit to anyone who is interested.  (This unit is no longer available online.  Please use my contact form to request a copy to be e-mailed to you.)

So long as my name and link remain attached, feel free to share it with anyone you like. I really enjoyed this unit. Here are some pictures from when we were working on it. It also shows sort of my ideal for teaching:

    I wrote a post with gardening links the same day you wrote this one. :-) I’m going to add this to my post; it looks great! Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much for this post. We too are starting a garden for our Spring/Summer project and as well as hoping to learn the art of growing our own food, I’m also hoping to grow a sense of family team work and maybe even a little patience. Your tips were very helpful.

    Thanks…next to see if people like whaling as much as gardening. :)

    Hi Dana

    I just found your site as I am starting a unit on gardening and permaculture with my kids in Australia. The link for your gardening unit is no longer up – would you be so kind as to send me the new link or the file?

    Thanks
    Penny

    Hi,

    Could you please send me a copy of your gardening unit study? We live in Sydney, Australia, and have 2 weeks of school holidays coming up. We thought we might like to plan a garden for spring!

    Thanks so much

    Michelle
