Jilli Jackson’s Books

Sustainability Series

Where curiosity takes root and learning grows—from the schoolyard to the kitchen.

With a unique teaching background as a gardening and sustainability teacher, Jilli Jackson brings this two-book series designed for educators who want to bring the magic of gardening and cooking into the classroom. By linking the natural rhythms of planting, harvesting, and preparing food, these companion guides foster deeper student engagement, support academic goals, and cultivate healthy habits that last a lifetime.

  • Kids Dig Gardens equips teachers with everything they need to start, grow, and sustain a vibrant school garden, with real-world strategies for integrating gardening into any learning environment—no matter the space or budget.

  • Farm-to-Fork extends the learning into the kitchen, guiding students through foundational cooking skills using ingredients they’ve grown themselves.

Together, these books offer a meaningful, seasonal approach to teaching sustainability, food literacy, and the joy of growing and sharing good food.
