Katie Wuori is turning traditional education on its head—by planting it in the dirt.

In this episode of Brighter Together, she shares how experiential gardening, cooking, and outdoor education are reshaping student engagement and school culture in rural Maine. From composting to cook-offs, Katie reveals how hands-on projects connect kids to their community, their health, and their learning—all while integrating math, ELA, science, and social studies naturally.

This is a can’t-miss listen for educators looking to cultivate something deeper than just academic achievement.
