This work had as its theme the implantation of a suspended school garden in a kindergarten school, aiming to demonstrate that the student of any age group, can be stimulated beneficially through pedagogical practices. The method used in this work is a case study that allowed the investigation and analysis of the whole process during the experiences experienced in the development of the garden. The aim of the project was to provide learning through the planting and cultivation of vegetables, seeking the adoption of healthy habits, involving students with the school environment and its team, as well as providing sustainability concepts using the reuse of materials such as PET bottles, even in the face of challenges such as lack of space and structure in the institution. According to the research carried out with parents / guardians and with teachers, represented by graphs, we find through data collected, great benefits. We observed the students 'food preferences and which vegetables they did not have the habit of ingesting, allowing a greater variety in the offer, besides analyzing the parents / guardians and teachers' view on the implementation of the suspended school garden, what initiatives the children had already been involved in the family and school environment and to verify what activities the students identified most during the process. The benefits achieved by the implementation of the suspended school garden are great, since it becomes effective in the search for healthier habits and in the reutilization of materials as didactic resource. Still, we emphasize that the suspended garden was an efficient alternative for the exploration of the existing physical space.
