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:

Welcome to Roscommon Acres, my little home in the country. I write here about life more abundantly, from the joy of a baby’s smile to the almost unbearable grief of losing a son. I am seeking beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of the spirit of despair (Isaiah 61:3).


Just place "Tiggy" in the subject line.







Dana, This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing. I especially loved all the art and the math lesson on setting boundaries.
I’m so glad you liked it!
Thanks Dana,
This is great! I love all of the scripture you have included.

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
Congratulations on your page, it is really interesting
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
