Connecting Kids to Nature: Creating and Maintaining School Gardens

Engaging kids to learn about native plants is vital to our planet’s future. Two speakers, contributors to the recently published NPSNJ’s “Native Plant School Guide,” will delve into the nuts and bolts of establishing native plant gardens in school gardens that not only serve as food and habitat for pollinators and birds but also provide valuable learning opportunities.
Our discussion will focus on a carefully chosen palette of plants: beautiful, easy-to-grow, and that bloom in spring and fall when students are in school.
We’ll explore the benefits of school gardens as well as the challenges associated with creating green spaces in schools and other public spaces.
Sarah Paulsen and Dena Corbin, integral members of the Essex Chapter team behind the School Guide, bring their extensive experience in creating school gardens to the conversation.

Great video. I have been thinking about how to get communities involved in the “native plant movement”. My children aren’t yet school age but it got me thinking about the future.
I wonder if more presentations like this could be done with people who have started initiatives in other ways, like in public parks or with their towns. If anyone knows of any that is lol
