"All of my outdoor and garden education experiences have contributed to the creation of this book. My hands-on engagement with The School Garden Curriculum means that the work I have produced is well-researched, experimented on, and comprehensive to K-8th grade student learning. 

This work is enriched by my devotion to outdoor and environmental education. I continually volunteer at local schools, meet with other educators to share information and successes, and participate in community gardening initiatives and meetings. My goal has always been to share what I have practiced, to learn from others, and to bring better teaching models and ideas into my work. "
