Background:

School gardens offer potential benefits for children's dietary behaviors.
Information regarding the practical implementation of school gardens is limited.
Understanding stakeholder perceptions is crucial for successful school garden initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the implementation practices of school gardens.
To explore the perceptions of key stakeholders and children regarding school gardens.
To identify facilitators, barriers, and solutions for effective school garden programs.

Main Methods:

Qualitative study involving twelve interviews with 14 key members.
Five focus groups conducted with 38 children (fifth-sixth grade).
Thematic analysis of interview and focus group data using NVivo software.

Main Results:

School gardens were primarily established for nature engagement, not direct dietary improvement.
Facilitating factors included garden adaptability and dedicated personnel.
Barriers comprised startup challenges, summer maintenance, and curriculum integration; solutions involved external support and expansion.

Conclusions:

School gardens are positively perceived by participants.
Recommendations from key members and children are vital for improving implementation.
Future projects should incorporate stakeholder feedback to enhance school garden effectiveness and children's health outcomes.
