The use of recyclable materials is an alternative for the preparation of school gardens and for the teaching of environmental education. In addition to being a facilitating tool for learning, the garden, when combined with the themes of environmental education, becomes fundamental for the formation of citizens aware that natural resources can be degraded or depleted. Thus, this study aimed to implement gardens with the use of recyclable material. The vegetable gardens were implemented in The Importance of Planning of Garden at School child education, elementary and high schools. The schools involved were Escola Municipal de Educação Infantil Sol Criança (Santiago-Rio Grande do Sul), Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental Bairro Carvalho (Cachoeira do Sul- Rio Grande do Sul), Colégio Estadual Cerro Branco (Cerro Branco- Rio Grande do Sul) e Colégio Totem (Cachoeira do Sul- Rio Grande do Sul). The recyclable materials used to prepare beds and support plants were pet bottles, tires, pallets and shingles. The activities were carried out by the members of the Living Garden Extension Project at School, together with the students and teachers of the schools. The garden space was used as an environment for teaching different subjects and allowed the development of playful and pleasurable activities.

Nowadays, education undergoes a process of restructuring and interdisciplinarity is fundamental to minimize the existing limits between the disciplines of High School. The origin of interdisciplinarity lies in the transformations of the ways of producing science and of perceiving reality. In this sense, the school garden can be a way to relate the knowledge of the various disciplines. With this extension work, the objective was to implement a vegetable garden at the Ruy Barbosa State High School, in the municipality of Novo Cabrais - RS, in order to promote interdisciplinary actions. Before the implementation of the garden, a lecture was given to students and teachers. It was chosen an idle place with potential for the cultivation of vegetables, where the vegetable garden was implanted. Lettuce, arugula, tomato, cassava, beet, sweet potato, popcorn, beans, Japanese moranga, fennel, pumpkin, radish and almeirão, among others crops. Among the interdisciplinary activities to be worked in High School are the calculation of the total production of each species cultivated in the garden, study of the centers of origin of each species, scientific names of the cultivated species, use of natural insecticides and organic fertilizer, regions that use the species grown in food and / or as medicinal plants.
