School Gardens - A Classroom in Every Garden
Teich outdoor garden classrooms are specifically designed to enrich the academic and healthy living experiences of students in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools and colleges. Transform existing curriculums into hands-on learning experiences with a Teich school garden. Our outdoor classrooms are "teacher-friendly" and feature wide walkways to accommodate large numbers of gardeners, as well as planting beds of varying depths to permit students and teachers to experiment with a wide range of flowers and vegetables.
Each Teich outdoor garden classroom may be built to provide universal access to permit everyone to participate in the garden experience. Our low maintenance gardens are perfect for schools. Because our systems use raised beds and bring in high quality soil, our school gardens can be installed on paved surface or on empty lots where the native soil might be environmentally suspect. We can also install roof top gardens. We just need sun and space. What makes a Teich Garden System better? Take a look.

"To create a wonderful school garden takes a lot of work and perserverence. There are so many things that need to come together so things get accomplished. I have found that by finding and using Teich Garden Systems a huge portion of that work was taken off of our shoulders. The Teich System is wonderful."
