Sumario:The present work aimed to provide practical knowledge related to the environment, sustainability and healthy diet as an environmental education strategy through the school garden, with elementary school students in schools in the municipality of Breves, Ilha do Marajó. Three schools were chosen, being students of the 5th grade of elementary education, making a total of 200 students. The study was conducted in two stages with the students: the first step was by requesting activities (drawings) about their perceptions of the environment and family production. The second stage the students were taken to the practical workshops based on the themes presented in the lectures. After applying the practical workshops, students were again asked to draw a picture to see how the theory / practice junction complemented the students’ learning about the school’s vegetable production system. Most of the experiences seek to stimulate the participation of children who, by getting their hands dirty, more clearly assimilate what is in the soil and its importance in nature. The applied methodology was effective for teaching and learning, since the student was able to establish a connection between theory and practice, acquiring knowledge of citizenship and respect for the environment.
