  • 1.  Share your websites with the Community!

    Posted 3 hours ago

    Hi all! I wanted to start a thread for members to share links to their own (or their organization's) websites/resources. I know some of you have some great personal or professional sites related to youth gardening that might be useful for other members to explore. Feel free to drop your links in this thread (and tell us a little bit about yourself or your site)! 


    Please keep in mind:

    • Please only share your own sites
    • You can always add links to your websites/content/blogs/etc. to your profile
    • We'll remove any links that are clearly spammy
    • Please do not start new individual posts to share your websites


    (P.S. Thanks to new member @Ciaran De Buitlear for sparking this idea!)

    Thanks Amelia and Hi all,

     I'm Ciarán from Ireland. I run GardeningWell, where I focus on helping families, schools, and communities create wildlife‑friendly gardens and outdoor learning spaces.

    My site is here: https://gardeningwell.ie

    Two resources that might be especially useful for youth gardening:

    • School Wildlife Garden Guide – a practical, step‑by‑step guide for creating pollinator‑friendly spaces with students

    • Using the Garden as an Outdoor Classroom – includes a short video and simple activities teachers can use immediately

    Both are easy to find on the website.

    I also share free seeds, plant notes, and simple wildlife‑gardening projects that work well with kids of all ages. Happy to answer questions or share ideas with anyone working on school or youth gardening projects.

    Love this idea! I am Lauren Zappone Maples from Austin, Texas.  I am the founder and director of PEAS (Partners for Education, Agriculture, & Sustainability)

    Our website is: www.peascommunity.org

    We wrote a book: The Easy PEASy Guidebook for Place-Based Outdoor Education

    We also have a set of digital lessons that launch outdoor explorations.

    These are some of our other resources & services.
