Speaker: Lisa Whittlesey
Many of us may have experienced the wonder and excitement of taking children into the garden. However, this session will focus on the “why it works” including some of the science and best practices that will allow you to make the most out of this outdoor experience for your children. Come join the fun and learn about the positive impacts of youth gardening! You will leave this session being able to implement best practices to actively engage children in the garden, integrate STEM and literature in the garden, use the garden to improve child nutrition and engage the family, and review current research and trends.
