New York Botanical Garden Launches NYBG at Home Educational Hub

The New York Botanical Garden released NYBG at Home for Kids & Families, an online compilation of its educational resources, so parents can supplement their kids’ at-home learning with plant-based activities, recipes, videos, lessons and more from NYBG. These resources are designed to show kids the world of plants through short how-to video projects and experiments, downloadable activities for kids of all ages, guides for seasonal plant explorations, and instructions for creating a home garden.

These resources were compiled by staff at NYGB’s Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, which encourages kids to explore nature through investigation. The adventure garden’s Edible Academy helps kids develop a lifelong influence in gardening, nutrition, and environmental stewardship through growing and preparing fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The recipes provided on the online portal are from Edible Academy, so your family can get a taste of its programming from your own kitchen.
