This webinar is hosted by KidsGardening with High Country Gardens.
Part Two:
Through conscious thinking about the ways in which we garden, every gardener, no matter their age, can make small changes that help mitigate climate change. From prioritizing resilient perennials and native plants to creating your own compost and reducing water usage, there are so many ways to get kids actively involved in gardening practices that capture carbon and support our ecosystems.
Join Horticulturist Abrianna Culligan and Youth Education Coordinator Jenna Hough of New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill and Carolyn Miller of Wild Ones as we explore the myriad of ways to introduce climate-friendly gardening practices to kids.
This webinar is part of new three-part webinar series on Climate-Friendly Youth Gardening. ALL WEBINARS ARE RECORDED FOR VIEWING AT ANY TIME. Gardens can be a powerful tool for helping kids to understand the science behind environmental issues and to feel empowered to help! Getting kids involved in sustainable, climate-friendly gardening teaches problem-solving skills, builds resilience, and reinforces feelings of agency. It can also give kids a much-needed sense of control, which is especially important in combating climate anxiety. Join KidsGardening and High Country Gardens for a three-part webinar series designed to help educators talk about climate change with kids and enable them to take action through a variety of climate-friendly gardening practices.
