Abstract

Creating spaces to work on themes such as environment, sustainability and healthy eating is a practice adopted in early kindergarten schools. In this sense, the garden is a tool for working on various themes and developing students' commitment to the environment and to food production using sustainable techniques. Thus, this work aimed to plan and implement a vegetable garden at Escola Municipal de Educação Infantil Sol Criança (Santiago, Rio Grande do Sul) e no Colégio Totem (Cachoeira do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul). The planning of the garden was carried out with the help of teachers and pedagogical coordination of the schools involved, in order to provide greater interaction of students with the garden. For this, the beds were prepared with used tires, so that all the space was accessible to students. Members of the Horta Viva at School Extension Project prepare the flowerbeds and on the day of the vegetable planting the students and teachers of the schools participated in the activity. Activities were also planned to be developed with students during the school year. The garden has allowed for greater integration between students, and the space will serve for various teaching-learning activities in schools.
