SUMMARY:

Sustainability as a paradigm for human development considers environmental, economic, social, ethical, and other aspects. In the educational field, this discourse is present in curriculum guidelines worldwide, advocating for the formation of more well-informed and engaged citizens who take responsibility for the environment. Considering this scenario, this research reports the implementation of a community garden in the elementary school context as a didactic strategy for an interdisciplinary approach to chemistry. The general objective of the study was to analyze the pedagogical experience of introducing the garden and the mobilization of chemical knowledge in dialogue with other disciplines, aiming to foster critical reflection on environmental preservation, sustainability, and related topics. The research followed a qualitative approach and was conducted in a private school in the city of Natal, with ninth-grade elementary students. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire, analysis of students' written productions in the context of the activities, photographs, and recordings of discursive interactions in the school environment. The results indicated that students recognized the relevance of cultivation practices for sustainability education and demonstrated a deeper understanding of the impact of human activities on the environment. However, the need for further exploration of the technical-scientific aspects underlying these actions was also identified. It is concluded that the pedagogical experience with the school garden represents a potentially useful strategy to enrich chemistry teaching, promoting reflections, ecological awareness, and encouraging sustainable practices concerning the environment.
