Lessons & Activities

If you have been growing a strawberry garden and have lessons you would like to contribute, please use this template (or parts of the template that make sense to you) and then email them to Liz Driscoll. The lessons will be posted as another tool for other teachers, crediting you as author. We are trying to build a collection of lessons to make it easier for teachers to educate from the garden. Thanks!
