This book tells the story of building a campus -learning garden- over a series of cohorts of student teachers and environmental education students. The project began with high ideals, no funding, and a strong desire to do something about the environment: the result was a transformation in attitude toward nature, community and toward the learning process itself. Examining the process through three key metaphors garden as environment, garden as community, garden as transformation this book provides a bridge between theory and practice for ecology-centered teaching and learning."
