Broadening sustainability knowledge networks through community partnerships

Abstract

This article explores how a collaborative approach to garden-based education can support knowledge transfer that extends beyond the immediate participants. Despite the recognised benefits of school gardens, teachers often lack the community networks required to make them successful educational spaces. Through partnerships between universities, schools, community gardens, and other organisations, we demonstrate how these community networks can not only support teachers in using gardens effectively but also facilitate knowledge transmission to wider communities through school newsletters, family connections, and ongoing community engagement.
