The Four Seasons of the Magic Garden
Students
who participate in this program will learn:
Ø About the inputs
needed to grow trees, flowers, and gardens.
Ø The effect of pests
on trees and garden plants.
Ø Pest control options
for the garden.
The Four Seasons of the Magic Garden is designed to run for 30 to 45 minutes, but can be adjusted
for your individual needs. Comedy and
magic are used to teach basic horticultural principles. Various routines are interwoven around the
theme of planting a garden and trying to raise a crop of vegetables and/or
flowers. However, the Magic Gardener keeps making mistakes, or running
into unforeseen problems, and needs the students to help make things
right.
The Four Seasons of the Magic Garden is best suited for students from Kindergarten through 8th
grade, but can be adapted for older (high school) audiences. The Four Seasons of
the Magic Garden can also be adapted for adult audiences, including
garden clubs, Master Gardener conferences, and civic groups.
The Magic Gardener meets Science
