Did you know that NPSOT now has resources available to help schools start their own Texas native plant gardens?
Check out the new Native Plants in Schools section of our website. There you will find:
- School Garden Starter Guide – a short PDF guide with plant lists and tips and tricks for creating a successful school native plant garden.
- Native Plants Rock! presentation – a simple presentation to introduce kids to native plants and their benefits.
- School garden examples – photos of school garden projects led by NPSOT members. If you have a school garden you would like to share on our website, please email haeley.giambalvo@npsot.org.
- List of garden curriculum and activity ideas – we’ve rounded up free resources available from a variety of conservation organizations. We will continue to add to this list and create our own native plant activities to complement these!
Please share these resources with schools and any other organizations in your area that is interested in starting a garden. If you have suggestions or feedback on these materials, the Native Plants in Schools committee would love to hear them! Please reach out to haeley.giambalvo@npsot.org.
