Botany on Your
Plate
 The
National Gardening Association is excited to announce
a new publication, Botany on Your Plate. Written
by education staff at The University of California
Botanical Garden at Berkeley, this science unit for
grades K-4 inspires fascination for and exploration
of the structure, function, and flavors of the plants
we eat. In this month's
Teachers' Room, we introduce
you to the curriculum and provide a sample lesson.
You'll
also
find links
to lots of other resources to help you take your investigations
further.

Parents' Primer
 Looking
for some guidance on how to make the most of your
family garden? Our Parents' Primer can help! Many
other writings on kids’ gardening start with
what to grow and how to design and build a kids’ garden,
prepare soil, and plant, but this primer is not
just about creating one garden for your kids. It’s
about taking advantage of “gardening moments” with
your kids every week in your own backyard ... and
front yard and in the garage and at the windowsill
and in the basement ...
The Parents' Primer is the Family
Resource Room feature for this month
-- find out how to engage your children
in outdoor explorations that cultivate
their love of plants, gardening, and
the environment.
