Conclusion on School Gardens and the Achievement Gap

Research indicates that school gardens alone do not successfully mitigate race and class achievement gaps in education. Furthermore, school gardens are more prevalent in White, middle- and upper-class schools, highlighting environmental disparities that may contribute to these achievement gaps. Future research should experimentally implement school garden-related curricula to better evaluate their potential educational benefits.
