Huge thanks to everyone who came out to our Garden Volunteer Day last Saturday! 🌱

We had such a great time working together in the garden, and your help made a big impact. Thanks to you, the garden is getting prepped and ready for summer camp, where lots of kids will be digging, learning, and exploring in the months ahead.

We really appreciate you showing up, getting a little dirty, and helping care for this space with us!

Life Lab’s ED Whitney led a workshop for a visiting delegation of eight specialists from Japan’s National Institution for Youth Education (NIYE) 🌱🇯🇵

The group of facility directors and education leaders from youth centers across Japan came to learn how Life Lab connects garden-based learning with science standards like NGSS as they work to strengthen their own education programs.

We love sharing the power of school gardens with educators from around the world! 🌎🌿
