    Hi everyone,

    I'm Dana.  Looking forward to learning and connecting with fellow school garden peeps.  I have a new position since September 2020 as garden/nature-based educator at the preschool where I've been the four-year-olds teacher the last ten years in southern CA.

    My profile pic is my tiny cat, Pikachu.

    Welcome Dana! I'm so happy for you - that is a wonderful position to have!
    I just retired after 15 years working as a Pre-K EA and always looked to bring gardening projects to the kids. I would have loved having a forest classroom for the kids and was beginning to implement it for with gardening and nature the kids can learn so many lessons! Looking forward to hearing more about your endeavors with the kids.
