Abstract	With a growing societal awareness of the importance of getting students outside as part of the school day, students and teachers alike are discovering the joys of taking art class outside. Drawing on natural and built environments in their local community, many art teachers are turning to their own school gardens as a fertile site for inquiry, creativity, and exhibition, providing a welcome alternative to the four walls of a traditional classroom. This aligns with the goals of the contemporary movement to reconnect children and youth with nature in their urban and rural communities, which aims to counter nature-deficit disorder (Louv, 2008), better serve those students with natural intelligence (Gardner, 1999), and help to involve children more fully with the places they live (Sobel, 1996, 2004). From an art education perspective, this results in more engaged students, increased exhibition opportunities, and aesthetically improved school grounds; some posit that this may lead to decreased graffiti and vandalism in schoolyards, as well as more positive relations with community partners (Coffey, 1996b). In this article, the authors examine the different aspects of having art class in school gardens. They also describe examples of different school art projects in Toronto, Canada. (ERIC).
