Have you ever wished you could create your own school garden program, tailored to your classroom and teaching style? In this episode of School Gardens with Ease, I share the exciting news — I’m developing a full class that teaches my entire method for building educational school gardens from start to finish.
You’ll hear how your feedback shaped this decision, why this program is for classroom teachers (not just garden clubs), and what’s included — from garden design and logistics to summer maintenance. I also share why I avoid overly complicated systems like hydroponics and grow towers, and instead focus on simple, affordable, and effective approaches that work for any grade level, including high school.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- How your feedback inspired a brand-new school garden course
- The three core elements every educational garden needs: design, logistics, and summer maintenance
- Why this class is ideal for teachers who work with the same group of students regularly
- Practical, low-cost alternatives to high-tech growing systems
- How to access my School Gardens with Almost No Summer Maintenance resources before the price goes up
Whether you teach elementary, middle, or high school, this episode will show you how to integrate hands-on gardening into your curriculum — without adding extra stress or expense.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
