Planning and Preparing a Vegetable Garden

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

An anticipatory slide suggests personal benefits from gardening. Then the presentation goes into choosing a location, considering soil type, the use of fertilizers, and the variety of crops available to choose from. If you are teaching an agriculture course, a horticulture elective, or are simply in charge of the school's garden, this is a great gadget for preparing your team to plant a vegetable patch. One small correction should be made, however; correct the title on slides six and seven to read, "Soil Types."
