The vision for the “Acquainting Agriculture - God in the Garden” program is to connect the students to their Creator through hands-on experience in their gardens and their community. God will be their teacher and the garden will be His classroom. Our prayer is that the students will be able to connect with God in a way they have never done before, that they learn a love for growing, and that they seek to share His blessings with others.  

“God in the Garden” builds on the skills and lessons taught in “Jesus in the Garden”. This program offers an exciting new possibility as it creates opportunities for the students to develop entrepreneurship skills as they are taught how to grow and sell seedlings for profit. As the students work through the curriculum they are encouraged to learn how to give back to their schools. Raising money opens doors to many mission possibilities as well. 

The “Acquainting Agriculture” Curriculum is designed to work in multi-grade classrooms. With a two-year rotation and two different leveled workbooks per year, a student can move through the curriculum over the course of four years without repeating the same content over and over. Using the principle of “repeat and enlarge” the curriculum grows with the students. There are a total of 28 lessons per year with 14 lessons per semester.
