The paper provides a theoretical overview of studies conducted within the framework of gardening-based learning. In nature, children can acquire a variety of skills and develop their environmental awareness in a space that represents a world of living examples. People are distancing from the nature, despite the fact that it can be a stimulating learning environment. It is necessary to return to the nature and design activities and programs where students will directly learn in the real world. The paper reviews the studies related to gardening-based learning within five domains: ecological, psychosocial, perceptual, the domain of school achievement and nutrition-health. Many researchers have created and implemented school garden programs and projects through which various positive effects have been achieved on cognitive, psychosocial, moral and physical development of children. Gardening-based learning programs result in increased awareness of proper nutrition and environment, higher learning outcomes and increase students' life skills. Experience gained in the garden encourages environmental literacy and management skills, improves awareness of the connection between plants and our clothes, food, lifestyle and sense of well-being.
