Abstract

This article imagines school campuses that have planned green spaces in which students can connect to the natural world in a peaceful and serene setting. In addition to plant beds that are visually appealing and can attract butterflies and birds, the space ideally could include walking paths, a gardening plot, shaded seating, and safe and attractive, water features. Campus green spaces can promote psychological well-being, develop interpersonal connections, support STEM learning, and introduce students to an array of career possibilities. Such spaces can also promote powerful school/university/community partnerships in which teacher educators can support these enriching experiences for all stakeholders.
