Tacoma's Snake Lake Park has an outdoor classroom situated in a forest. In Bremerton it's a raised-bed vegetable garden that edify and educate Head Start preschoolers.
The garden also teaches kids more about what is involved in creating food and how food grows.
“A lot of our children have never seen that,” she said. “The children are really fascinated by food and it is very ‘sciency’ too because they learn about biology.”
Tindall said that a lot of other types of learning happen in the garden too.
“They learn to be careful with things that are delicate,” she said. “They learn what helps things to grow and they learn to care.”
