As a methodological procedure, a questionnaire was developed discussing with the schools in meetings previously scheduled and questions pertinent to the proposed questions were clarified serving as a basis for research of this research, carried out with approximately twenty six students between the two schools. In general, the textual manifestations of the students were grouped in different axes themed as follows: Organic Agriculture and Interdisciplinarity. As a result, we can understand that the school garden is a potential "living laboratory" that transcends the domains of the classroom.
