  223. where ecological, pedagogical, and social transformation might be promoted
  224. and take place. Reflecting on our evaluations of school ground greening initiatives
  225. in Canada and England, we note that these initiatives are often at
  226. the margins of young peoples' experiences in schools and that their potential
  227. to be truly transformative can go unrealized. A series of tensions are
  228. highlighted in addressing a shift towards realizing their potential; these
  229. include situating greening school grounds more explicitly within the curriculum
  230. and securing broader institutional support. We also identify a more
  231. radical option, the repositioning of the kinds of outdoor learning that
  232. occurs in green school grounds as the basis of teaching and learning in
