Part Three:
When it comes to the layout, hardscapes, and features of a youth garden, making climate-friendly design choices is easier than you think and can offer engaging educational experiences for kids. From creating rain gardens to xeriscaping, planting schoolyard forests and choosing sustainable materials there are many ways to incorporate climate-friendly garden design into a new youth garden or an existing one.
Join Paige Payne of Online Landscape Designs, Lauren Carvalho of High Country Gardens, and Ayesha Ercelawn of Green Schoolyards America to explore ways to make your growing space more climate-friendly.
