Little Green Fingers - Children’s Garden Project Series
Our team executed an organize-design-build process to make five new useful and meaningful gardens for their host neighborhoods, and help families with preschool children achieve better health outcomes. The garden design process asked the gardeners to choose how to talk about certain topics such as garden name, garden location and garden features. Care for the health of our environment is shown through plantings attracting pollinators and developing new appreciations for whole fruits and vegetables.
