The research focuses on the development of Environmental Education (EE) with garden activities at school as an interdisciplinary pedagogical resource.

With the support of technological tools. The objective of the research was to present practical interdisciplinary EE classes on the bias of pedagogical garden activities in elementary school in the early years. For the analysis undertaken here, we opted for a qualitative study, using as a procedure the narrative of the researcher’s experience through an autobibliographical bias, introducing the reader, from the professional teaching trajectory to a detailed description of the practical curricular EA classes with the school garden, contemplating the scenarios and the target population. From a technical-methodological point of view, records and notes from field diaries were used, reports of theoretical-practical activities resulting from the researcher’s participant observation. In this vein, environmental practices are presented, from the conception and planning of activities to the development of its actions, reinforcing the relevance of curricular EA. In terms, EE as a sensitization device to raise awareness among school goers and the community, giving new meaning to the ecologically sustainable environment as recommended in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and suggesting the inclusion of the practice of the pedagogical garden in the RME of Curitiba with more effectiveness.
