Need help with gardening lesson plans

sweetpea_410

I have been inspired to start an educational gardening program for my local school district and am nering the final planning stages. However I have no educational background and need help putting together lesson plans to present to the school board with my project proposal. I have all of the core curriculum standard on hand, but they are a bit overwhelming. Any help is appreciated. Please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail. Thanks in advance. I look forward to hearing your suggestions!

    I'm not sure how to do it, but I think you might get more responses if you provide a bit more details about what you're planning.

    Mainly, age/grade of the students, expected number of times per week meeting, what you wish to accomplish with what they learn(IE: Biology- seed to plant to seed, or just farming.), and possibly intensive or not lessons.

    Providing these basic things should give a better response.
