This article reports on a mixed methods evaluation of an indoor garden-based learning curriculum for 5th and 6th graders which incorporated aquaponics and hydroponics technologies. This study provides a better understanding of the extent to which indoor gardening technologies can be used within the formal curriculum as an effective teaching tool. Treatment group students showed statistically significant improvement in environmental knowledge scores as well as higher overall scores on environmental preservation, and in some instances, a commitment to practicing pro-environmental behaviors. Unexpected findings were found in relation to the extent to which students with learning disabilities excelled within the pedagogical design.
