Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze the teachers' view on the importance and the use of a medicinal garden in a public school in a city in northeastern Brazil. It was analyzed how this resource can contribute as a didactic material for the interdisciplinary practice in basic education. The school garden was planted in the second half of 2014, through an intervention project promoted by the University of Pernambuco's Program of Initiation to Teaching (PIBID) Program, linked to the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel of the Government of Brazil (CAPES). A semi structured questionnaire was applied to thirteen teachers at the school. The results obtained in the interviews showed the teachers' lack of interest regarding the use of the school garden. Even so, most teachers recognize the importance of the school garden as a didactic resource. With this study it was possible to observe that any project of intervention in the schools requires that the teachers are ready to use it. It is necessary to create a teacher training plan. Alternative teaching tools show themselves as stimulating actions in learning and as an efficient didactic resource in modern school.
