This article presents discussions about the environmental education practices linked to teaching activities and pedagogical conducts in the construction and maintenance of school gardens. The works were developed from an extension project, into an interdisciplinary perspective, encouraging the students to practice healthy eating through discoveries, management and interactions with many phases of a garden construction. The activities happened in two academic years, the first in 2017 and, sequentially, in 2018, in elementary schools in the city of Santa Maria/RS. The strategy adopted was the inductive method, with a qualitative approach. The Garden at the School Project is a didactic-educational instrument, enabling a meaningful teaching process and an effective learning from the relation between content and practice. As a result, it is observed that in one school, the area designed to vegetables gained more space and stimulated educational interest, remaining in force in the 2018 academic year, as well as included more classes.
