Presented by the Education Community
As plant educators we are always looking for ways to engage firsthand with visitors when they are closest to the plants themselves. Discovery carts have been utilized by many in our line of work over the years to provide content and interaction out in the gardens and not in a classroom or exhibit hall.
Join us and learn from a variety of educators who are currently using them so you can improve your current offerings, get in on the action, or simply avoid the mistakes they made as you plan for the future. Presentations will be followed by time for questions. Details on each organizations cart set up and design will also be provided.
Presenters:
Eryn Hatzithomas, Community Engagement Manager, Queens Botanical Garden
Cindy Burmann, Education Manager, Bok Tower Gardens
Katie Munn, Education Specialist, Smithsonian Gardens
Mark A. Miller, PhD, Education & Exhibits Director, Pittsburgh Botanic Garden
Ariel Christian, School & Out-of-School Programs Specialist, Olbrich Botanical Gardens
This presentation is FREE for members and will be recorded and available in our Library Media Center following the webinar.
