Abstract

School gardens have become essential educational spaces in the current educational context, providing practical and educational experiences that promote the integral development of students. Given this scenario, this study seeks to investigate the impact of school gardens on student education, emphasizing the importance of these spaces for the development of socio-environmental skills. A qualitative and exploratory approach was used to interpret the data collected through content analysis. The results show that the implementation of school gardens in teaching practice can effectively cultivate students' socio-environmental skills and promote meaningful learning and a positive reflection on today's society. It was concluded that school gardens have educational and environmental benefits, contributing to the overall education of students and increasing awareness of socio-environmental issues. School gardens are a valuable tool to encourage sustainability, biodiversity and healthy eating, developing citizens engaged in environmental issues.
