V. RATIONALE:
“MEScienceville” is a Science Department School-based project of Grade

3 to Grade 6 pupils, parents and teachers of Masambong Elementary School. This
is the adaptation of DepEd Memorandum No. 187 s. 2018 with the title of Pilot
Implementation of the School Inside a Garden Program.
The School Inside a Garden (SIGA) was first introduced by the Department
of Education Culture and Sports (now DepED-Department of Education) in the
year 1995 through DECS Memorandum No. 77, s. 1995. It was initiated to support
the national goal for a “Clean and Green” society. The focus back then was to
grow flowers, medicinal herbs, exotic and fruit-bearing trees. Through this program,
learners were given an opportunity to care for plants, flowers, and trees. This will
not only provide shade and color to campuses but will also support one of DepEd’s
core values which is being “Makakalikasan”.
The education sector may have seen this pressing issue pushing the way to
revive the program. November 29, 2018, through DepEd Memorandum No. 187, s.
2018, School Inside a Garden was once again revived. The primary focus of the
program is on establishing schools inside gardens featuring mostly flowering plants
and endemic and native trees such as, but not limited to Narra Tree (Pterocarpus
indicus) and Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciose). This will make campuses
throughout the country green and colorful. It also aims to strengthen the
integration of environmental education both in the elementary and high school
curriculum to sustain the environmental consciousness and action among learners
and the community. This can be done by teaching students the concept of the
role and value of trees and other natural resources in maintaining the ecosystem
and during the conduct of actual planting of trees and plants.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
SIGA also aims for every school to plant trees in every available space, thus,
the concept of being a school inside a garden. Other alternative methods like
container gardening, vertical gardening, and other appropriate alternative
methods may be used by schools without available planting space. Schools are
also tasked to make an inventory of plants and trees within the school vicinity
which should be properly labeled to serve as part of the school’s educational
efforts. The creation of nurseries for indigenous and endemic trees to serve as a
laboratory for learners is also an aim of this program.
Through SIGA, the importance of schools and their roles in rehabilitating the
heavily-challenged natural environment, and their initiatives toward a sustainable
National Greening Program are also highlighted.
In line with this DepEd Executive Order correlated in this new normal
education system in public school in the Philippines we will know the significance
of Home/School Gardening and Planting in environmental awareness and fighting
mental health stigma in this time of pandemic
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
VI. OBJECTIVES:
➢ To increase the environmental awareness of parents and pupils
➢ To promote significance of the home/school gardening as an
alternative way on fighting in mental health.
➢ To aesthetically the school premises.
➢ To promote good camaraderie of students and parents in planting
VII. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM

In this pandemic, teachers are extremely concerned about their well-
being, especially their mental health, as well as to the pupils and parents. This study
looked at and investigated the impact of practical, school-based gardening on
teachers' well-being also to the students and parents during a pandemic.
MEScienceVille is one of a kind project of science department that

coordinates with pupils parents and teachers in planting/gardening in school and
home. Growing plants has long been praised as a stress-relieving pastime with
many positive benefits for the individual. Gardening can be a healthy activity to
pursue at this time when many individuals are working from home and students
are learning at home.
Growing a herbs and flower in school garden could be a psychologically

healthy method for pupils, parents and teachers to beat boredom and give
families a sense of security. We have examples of how gardening may be useful
in our society from historical experiences during difficult times.
IX. FUNDING:
Through solicitations and donations.
X. OUTPUTS:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
MEScienceville are a fantastic and exciting way to bring practically any

subject to life and give pupils, parents and teachers a sense of "real-world"
meaning while they learn. A garden can offer the chance to engage in
experiential learning but also responsibility, teamwork, and respect for
nature, other people, and oneself. Gardens can be a fun approach to
achieve Core Curriculum Content Standards and have been shown to
improve test scores and student learning. Edible gardens are a useful tool
that schools may utilize to foster healthy eating habits, appreciate locally
grown food sources, teach environmental stewardship, and promote
community and social development, whether they are producing
vegetables, fruits, or a variety of herbs.
The social and emotional growth of pupils, parents and teachers has
been found to be influenced by working in school gardens. For instance:
1. Students show a greater concern for and readiness to care for
living things when they engage in practical gardening activities.
2. Growing their experiences and skills, children learn to accept risks
by trying new things like gardening.
3. Students' attitudes towards learning and their interpersonal
interactions with professors and other students can differ.

XIII. SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
READY... All the things that need from small item to the big picture in making the
MEScienceVille. Being prepared in many respects entails having the knowledge and
abilities necessary to handle the challenges that lie ahead, as well as to participate in
and learn from current events. It is best for development to have this balance of readiness
and openness to learning.
GET SET… Setting objectives in making this project enables to develop new habits, direct
attention, and maintain momentum in life an new normal life. A sense of self-mastery and
concentration alignment are two additional benefits of goals.
GROW… We can learn from and apply some aspects of a plant's life that are crucial to
its growth and development to our own. Utilize these tools from nature to assist you in
caring for your own garden. Use the suggestions above to water yourself every day. Allow
your seeds to grow, your roots to develop, and the sun to illuminate your face. You will
grow more as you plant more. Your experiences will be more plentiful the more you take
care of yourself. Consider what you can accomplish simply utilizing your intellect, since a
plant doesn't require one to develop. Success is only a state of mind. It serves as a
springboard for the development of concepts and chances that will ultimately result in
the life and career you envision.

XIV. PROGRAM AND SUCCESS INDICATORS
Teachers of all ages were so concerned about their health during this
pandemic that it even had an impact on their general wellbeing. The usefulness
of a hands-on, school-based gardening program as an intervention for the
teachers' wellbeing during the pandemic has been researched and explored by
researchers. Descriptive statistics were used to handle the data. The study's
findings demonstrated that teachers strongly concur that everyone can gain
advantages from gardening, including social advantages, improved mental
wellbeing, nutritional advantages, and physical activity benefits for both social
and physical health.
Teachers exhibited highly positive attitudes on gardening. Teachers' levels

of enjoyment significantly increased when they participated in hands-on school
gardening activities and were exposed to them. They also believed that
gardening activities had a favorable impact on people's health and well-being.
Themes that keep coming up among teacher-participants point to the value of
participating in gardening activities to improve people's health and well-being
and to increase social connection, communication, motivation, and task
engagement. Getting involved with gardening at home is worthwhile. To learn
how gardening affects kids' academic performance and offers advice on how to
deal with obstacles in life, more research may be done incorporating gardening
into the teachings.
