In Episode 9: Garden Classrooms with Lauren MacLean, @teachoutdoors.bsky.social explains how all parts of the curriculum can be holistically explored in the garden. It isn’t just for science! www.plantsalwayswin.com/pod... #gardensky #edusky #teacher
And we’ve definitely learned our lesson about how to properly order soil from the district! 🤞🤞
Hahahahaha
A white woman with light-coloured braids wearing a baseball cap and a waterproof jacket smiles at the camera in a forest setting. Text above her reads "Episode 9: Garden Classrooms with Lauren MacLean." In the bottom right corner is the Plants Always Win logo.
The cover image of Sitting with Nature: An Educator's Guide to Sit Spots by Lauren MacLean shows a little boy sitting in the forest examining something closely.
The cover image of the picture book Me and My Sit Spot, written by Lauren MacLean and illustrated by Anna Panchuk, shows an illustrated little girl with curly, red hair sitting on a stone in the forest. She is in a meditation pose, her eyes are shut, and her mouth is smiling serenely.
The cover image of the book Finding Common Ground, written by by Lauren MacLean and illustrated by Yana Popova, shows an anxious-looking bow and an eager-looking girl walking arm and arm across a flower-filled hill. They are surrounded by nature: trees, rocks, mushrooms, bushes, birds, and cattails.
Not familiar with Lauren MacLean? If you're a teacher, an outdoor educator, a camp director, a homeschooler, or anyone who works with kids in the outdoors, you should be! After you listen to her interview on our podcast, check out hers: @teachoutdoors.bsky.social.

Love this question. Recently I walked past my admin in the hallway and he simply said something like “I love what your students were doing today.” Showed me he noticed, valued and appreciated what was happening in our classroom ❤️
