Resources for Adults
From landscape plans to plant ID guides, we’ve rounded up a curated collection of resources to help you level up your wildlife gardening game. Whether you’re just starting out or already know your milkweed from your goldenrod, these tools will have you feeling like a budding expert in no time—green thumb not required
Resources for Kids
This fun mix of coloring books, ID guides, and how-tos will turn your budding gardener into a full-on ecology activist—cape optional, curiosity required. And the perks go way beyond learning about bugs and blooms: spending time in nature can actually boost kids’ eyesight, ease anxiety, and lower the risk of chronic illness. In other words, getting outside isn’t just good for the planet—it’s great for your kiddo, too. So go ahead, let them dig in the dirt. It’s practically a superpower.
Resources for Educators
School gardens turn textbook concepts into real-life adventures. From witnessing the life cycle of a butterfly to spotting bees in action, students gain a hands-on understanding of ecosystems, food sources, and the environment. The result? A deeper reverence for nature, a stronger sense of environmental stewardship — and maybe even a newfound love for worms. This collection includes lesson plans, games, and grants to kickstart your gardening for wildlife unit.
