The Teacher Tool Box is the place where teachers can find lessons in every subject that they can use for teaching with the garden.

Lessons are arranged by subject: math, social studies, science, language arts, and health and nutrition.  Each lesson includes the applicable New Jersey Learning Standards for preschool through fifth grade.

The category called Basic Gardening Lessons includes lessons in a variety of subjects that teach the basics of gardening and plants.
