Nourishing the Planet in the 21st Century: Virtual Classroom

Are you looking for a way to bring the outside into your classroom to make learning more engaging? Would you like a visit to your classroom from a horticulturalist or farmer to help your students learn why soil nutrition is so important? With the addition of a virtual classroom to the Nutrients for Life curricula, this is now an option! The virtual classroom complements Nourishing the Planet in the 21st Century. The virtual classroom is hosted by the Nutrients for Life blogger Dee McKenna, whose gardening tips and ideas can be found in the Foundation’s blog.
