Current research suggests gardening and food programs can provide an authentic context for children's and adolescents' learning about mathematics (Civil & Khan, 2001;Hinnant, 1999;Taylor, 2012), nutrition (Gatto, Ventura, Cook, Gyllenhammer, & Davis, 2012;Gibbs et al, 2013;Morris, Koumjian, Briggs, & Zidenberg-Cherr, 2002), science (Hachey & Butler, 2009a, 2009bShoults & Shoults, 2012), and environmental sustainability (Malone, 2004;Mayer-Smith, Peterat, & Bartosh, 2006;Miller, 2007;Tangen & Fielding-Barnsley, 2007).…”
