Cultivating Place: Back To School Special: The Little Gardener With Julie Cerny

 

 

In this very unusual back-to-school season here in the US, we’re joined this week by Julie Cerny a gardener, an outdoor enthusiast, and educator. Her new book, The Little Gardener: Helping Children Connect with the Natural World (out now from Princeton Architectural Press) provides some unusual and inspirational guidance for parents, grandparents, caregivers, and educators who want to help children explore the natural world through gardening. 

 

Part how-to, part teaching tool, and part inspiration, The Little Gardener shows gardeners of all ages how to envision and build their garden together by making the process an adventure to be treasured, with much to learn along the way.

 

Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place.

 

We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations.

 

The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloudiTunesGoogle Play and Stitcher. To read more and for many more photos please visit cultivatingplace.com.
