Marjory’s Garden: Healing, Education, and Sustainability with Kyle Jeter
Season 2 Episode 6
In this episode of Classroom Narratives: Healing in Education, Dr. Joey Weisler sits down with astronomy teacher and environmental advocate Mr. Kyle Jeter from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. As the visionary behind Marjory’s Garden, a thriving outdoor learning space dedicated to sustainability and healing, Mr. Jeter shares how a simple idea blossomed into a powerful symbol of resilience and education.
Join us as we explore how this green space (developed in 2016) has helped students and educators heal, integrate STEM and arts education, and foster a renewed sense of community after the tragic events of 2018. This conversation is a testament to the power of nature, education, and human connection in rebuilding and moving forward.
