Recenzii

No place tells the story of ecological urbanism better than urban gardens. 'Roots and Research in Urban School Gardens' uses case studies of school gardens in California, Washington and Vancouver to reveal the power of gardens in human and community development. This scholarly yet poetic volume uses the words and stories of people involved in these projects to shape a hopeful vision of urban sustainability. It lays out a new way of learning using community action and gardening to transform both the curriculum and physical place of schools. 'Roots and Research in Urban School Gardens' is the most comprehensive review of school gardens to date. This book will be a useful resource for teachers, parents and public officials involved in community greening and placebased learning. (Mark Francis, FASLA, Professor Emeritus of Landscape Architecture, University of California, Davis and author of 'Urban Open Space') 'Roots and Research in Urban School Gardens' convincingly captures the voices of students and their teachers engaged with intensity in learning in the garden. I have personally seen children and youth take deep interest in both the soils and the fruits - literally and metaphorically - of their school gardens. This book conveys a powerful story of robust gardens across four regions and in doing so inspires us with regenerative possibilities both for education and for the environment. This book also strongly supports local efforts committed to equity and social justice, concerns often lost in the discourse around school gardens. Veronica Gaylie is to be commended for seeding urban hope. (Dilafruz Williams, Professor, Educational Leadership and Policy, Portland State University,and Portland School Board member)
