"The value of garden-based learning is undeniable in its capacity to revolutionize\r\ncurrent paradigms towards ecological literacy for educating future generations. Perhaps\r\nthe most significant connections created are the ones that instill a sense of place and\r\nunderstanding of nature and all living organisms. The UBCFSP is a community-base\r\naction program that consists of many partners and collaborators. Through a collaborative\r\neffort between the Faculty of Education, Faculty of Land and Food Systems, and our\r\nproject stakeholders at the University of British Columbia (UBC), the establishment of an\r\noutdoor classroom has been initiated. This space is part of the LFS Orchard Garden at\r\nUBC and will be utilized to help educate teachers and equip them with relevant skills and\r\ninformation. Some of the barriers to participation included lack of knowledge,\r\naccessibility to resources, and teacher-confidence working in an outdoor environment. In\r\nresponse, our group created two workshops to facilitate, as well as a resource list that\r\nwill ideally support teachers in implementing outdoor education. The feedback we\r\nreceived from our stakeholders indicated that our workshops were a good starting point\r\nfor the program and could be further developed to include more material and connection\r\nto other workshops. Developing garden-classroom connections in outdoor learning\r\nspaces will help to encourage students to spend more time outside ultimately assisting in\r\nthe development of children\u2019s sense of place in natural green spaces.
