B
At Tradewinds Middle School in the US, you can see a very special school garden. Green vegetables, strawberries and other plants grow out of plastic bottles hanging along a fence.
In order to encourage students to take part in the Green Schools Recognition Program and create a nice environment, the school asks the sixth, seventh and eighth graders to grow different kinds of plants in their classrooms. Then they will move the plants to the campus. At the same time, students need to collect and analyze data(分析数据) of the plants. Surprisingly, they are very happy to do the job.

Lauren Butcher, the Green Schools Recognition Program organizer, says students learn more than just the skills of gardening. They learn a bigger-picture lesson, too. They discover that they can have an effect on the world around them. “Students see that their learning matters and that their action counts,” Butcher adds. “And it’s just not that they will help one day, but they are having an influence right now. ”
At Tradewinds, students who labour in the school garden enjoy eating mulberries(桑葚) right off the bushes, giggling(咯咯笑) about the juice that turns their hands and clothes pink. “When you go to the store, you say, ‘Oh, buy this. ’ But you don’t really understand where it comes from,” says seventh grader Sabrina Swayne, 13. “But when you grow it yourself, you get satisfaction from what you have done. You’re eating, saying, ‘Wow! We did so much for it, so we can eat this!’”
What’s more, while undertaking the careful process of growing plants, students can learn about how human development impacts ecosystems (生态系统). It makes them realize the importance of protecting the earth and inspires(激励) them to do something useful for the world.
