Green schoolyards are about more than just vegetable gardens. They may be edible, as in the case of Alice Waters’ lauded program at Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Junior Middle School, or they may be simply sustainable: solar panels, rainwater harvesting, bicycle programs. The entire range of possibilities, from outdoor classrooms to unpaved playgrounds, is the subject of Engaging Our Grounds, the first International Green Schoolyard Conference to be held in the United States, running tomorrow and through Sunday in San Francisco and Berkeley.
