Educational programs in public gardens are connecting learners, both teachers and students, with the outside world. The BRIT professional learning experience allows teachers to build student-centered learning opportunities that engage learners in broadening their understanding of biodiversity and conservation for a local to global impact. The award winning Kids in the Garden program is creating numerous opportunities for students and teachers to connect with nature while the Green School is providing teachers with a new and exciting way to teach environmental concepts.
