Garden Pals: Video Exchange
It's always fun to visit other school's gardens to see their diversity of crops and their activities, but sometimes that just isn't feasible. Most teachers would love to have their students visit a garden in Guatemala to experience a different gardening culture, but most won't be able to do that.
A great option for "visiting" other school gardens is to participate in a video exchange with other schools around the state, country, or world! Wouldn't it be amazing for your students to see their video pen pals from Ecuador growing corn and then standing in a banana jungle?
All you need to create a garden video is a thriving garden and a camcorder. You can either mail the videocassettes or post the video to be shared with another school online.
What should your video show? Keep it simple and interesting--15 to 20 minutes is plenty. Let your students each narrate a small portion, introducing themselves and showing the school and the garden. You can demonstrate the garden games you play or have students talk about their garden stories.
Where can you find schools to share these videos with? If you want to share your video with schools in Wisconsin, visit the http://bit.ly/9LxKhH for the names of school gardens around the state. For a country wide or worldwide garden, simply do a google search, contact the schools you think would interest your students and begin the communication process.
Happy Traveling!

Video: Beehive in the White House's Garden
Bees play an important role in any garden as they help pollinate plants.
Check out this neat video about the beehive in the White House's garden!
Use this video as a launching point for a discussion on pollination or the role of insects in your garden!

Awesome School Garden Videos
I found this AWESOME website today that features school garden videos!
In particular, be sure to check out clip on Citysprouts. Using interviews with students, the video shows why school gardens are so important and the impact it has on the students' lives.
And make sure to check out the "Back Pocket" Garden Activities. These short videos show a variety of fun activities to do in the garden. I enjoyed "Bug Races"! It is such a simple activity but just look at how much fun the kids are having!
