Have you dreamed about starting a garden at your school but aren’t sure where to start?
This is the New Brunswick School Gardens Initiative - a project designed to revolutionize the way we use plants as educational resources.
The great outdoors offers new and exciting ways to keep students engaged with their studies while developing the essential skills of working with nature, sustainable living and teamwork. With a growing demand for social distance and wide-open spaces, there has never been a better time to utilize the areas outside of our classrooms and living rooms to stay safe and promote quality experiential learning.
Those participating in the initiative will be provided with mentorship, garden inspiration, access to community garden networks, assistance accessing funding, and knowledge building. These supports, in conjunction with a series of interactive online events throughout the school year will enable participants to get the most out of their efforts, placing fewer demands on teachers and making this an overall fun and exciting experience!- Details

Team Professional Development (PD)
Team PD, SEA’s longest running team, seeks to equip educators with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to include sustainability in their teaching. Running since 2011, this dynamic bunch have created the Great Minds Think Outside teacher training program, as well as other sustainability-related skill development for educators of all kinds.
Team School Gardens
Team School Gardens first met in December 2018, and includes teachers, educators, and community groups who have big dreams about linking students and cafeterias to local food, rain and wildflower gardens, potted plants, and all things that grow. This group is versatile and inclusive of many types of cultivation and skill levels, with a focus currently on capacity-building in New Brunswick schools.
Team Art and Sustainability Education
Team Art & Education was largely inspired by the October 2018 SEA Conference. This highly creative team serves as a hub for artistic environmentalists and environmentally-minded artists around the province. The team members come from various fine art disciplines, including sculpture, video, photography, music, and painting, as well as researchers and educators who are passionate about bringing creativity to sustainability education.
Team Sustainable Business EducationTeam Sustainable Business Education first met in the fall of 2019. This team seeks to find, create or develop entrepreneurial projects for New Brunswick youth. The team wants to teach young entrepreneurs that they have a responsibility to their environment and that this does not have to conflict with their financial goals; sustainability is a generator of wealth.
