Yes, we are now into summer and students would be unlikely to be able to participate in gardening as a class activity. I know from experience that an issue with school yard projects is keeping these projects going over the summer. If students are around, there are learning benefits from growing and eating garden vegetables. This link takes you to a full description of what students can learn from gardening. In some cases, it may even demonstrate where food comes from. Food you grow yourself is also more interesting to consume. Then there are the benefits of learning science by doing and analyzing. There is also soil science, climate science, composting, and too often, entomology.
The photo is from my own garden. I garden in 4×4 raised beds. We have 11 of these beds around the perimeter of our yard. Here, from front to back are brussels sprouts and lettuce, broccoli, and peppers.
