The core of this research is to present a comparative analysis of students' knowledge regarding environmental education based on the implementation of a school garden in a private basic education institution in the city of Natal (RN, Brazil). The research includes steps such as bibliographic analysis, implementation of the school garden and a questionnaire with students.
