Teaching in Brazil is still very much connected to the traditional models of school pedagogy, and to break this link, it is necessary to have alternatives that seek knowledge and interaction of the students, because it is notorious the dissatisfaction of some students in relation to the teaching-learning processes of the teachers, and to rescue their attention, the implementation of a school garden can be a great solution. The school garden allows a great approximation of students with the proposed theme, besides uniting theory and practice, something quite necessary lately to develop the student’s critical sense. Supported by the content of school gardens and environment, digital dissemination is a great tool for access and sharing of publications, in this case, educational. To achieve the research goals, the methodology consisted of a bibliographic survey, development of methods and strategies, re-bulation for research, tabulation and systematization of the collected data, and finally, the elaboration of the obtained analyses, which will consequently result in a final wording. It is expected that this research, among many related to the area, will be a reference for the pedagogical area, and from reading, we will obtain significant results in the school environment, as well as the transfer of information to the local community.
