NYBG Kids Learn

NYBG Kids Learn fans: We are moving over to on July 18. We invite you to follow along there for all future updates from Children's Education and the Garden as a whole. It's a great place to get info on all of the incredible things happening at NYBG--we'll see you there! https://www.facebook.com/NYBotanicalGarden/

New York Botanical Garden A museum of plants 🌱, a center for learning 📚, and a plant science leader in the Bronx 🔬

Calling all Kid Gardeners ages 6-12! The Summer Crafters program--and six weeks of hands-on gardening fun--starts next Tuesday! Snag a last-minute spot! http://www.nybg.org/edu/kids-teens/gardening-program.php

For more than 60 years, NYBG has been a leader in edible gardening education. We're excited to announce a new Kickstarter Campaign to ensure its future growth, with the new state-of-the-art Edible Academy campus. Please help us reach our goal to break ground in October! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/305435687/help-launch-the-edible-academy

We loved this tweet from a happy mom who dropped by our Edible Academy. (And Kathleen, we agree, that dandelion greens ARE delicious!).

During the GreenSchool Poetry for Every Season Poetry Walk, students experienced the Garden in a mindful way, noticing the activities and exchanges of people around them and carefully observing the placement of plants around them. They used these scenes as inspiration for lines of poetry!

We still have openings for the littlest gardeners in our Spring Children's Gardening Program. Kids dig for worms, learn about plants, play games, and make nature crafts in the beautiful setting of the Ruth Rea Howell family garden. Register your child ages 3-5 today: http://www.nybg.org/cgp

Now's your last chance to register your child age 3-5 for a great week of fun at our Spring Break Camp, starting Monday! Learn more and sign up: http://www.nybg.org/camps/spring/index.php
