    Join us for Zora's Zucchini Webinar that highlights ways to connect garden-based learning to the classroom, cafeteria, story-time, and beyond. We have paired up with Katherine Pryor, author of Zora's Zucchini, Michéal Newman-Brooks, Program Manager of School Gardens for Chicago Public Schools, and our own Marie Dennan, Program Manager in Memphis. We'll hear how each of these professionals finds creative and meaningful ways to bring the garden to life with students. Register for the webinar

    What a great opportunity. Thanks for sharing, Michelle! 

    Sophie's Squash is another awesome book with a similar idea :)

    Hi Lily,

    I just love the cross-curricular opportunities of pairing children's books with gardening and art and even math.
