Principles of Culturally Responsive Garden Education: Honoring Diversity and Inclusion

When:  Feb 1, 2023 from 07:00:00 PM to 08:00:00 PM (ET)

This webinar series is hosted by KidsGardening.

By their nature, gardens embody diversity. Garden education is increasingly recognized as an interdisciplinary approach that integrates academic goals, health and wellness, place-based education, and community connections and relationships. However, discussion of 
culture is often missing in garden-based education. To validate and celebrate the interests and experiences of our students, we will delve deep into the significance of culture as it relates to food and gardens and also as it relates to the diverse populations with whom we work.

Join us as we explore ways to celebrate and center culture through garden-based learning.

This series is made possible by a sponsorship from the Clif Family Foundation and contributions from folks like you.
