Mentoring a child with hands-on gardening is a powerful force for developing an understanding of the natural world. When children start young, nature’s values become permanently imprinted, forming the basis for appreciation of how horticulture is relevant in all aspects of their lives. Wayne Mezitt of Weston Nurseries discusses some concepts on developing a compelling lifelong engagement with horticulture for young and old alike, at Tower Hill Botanic Garden on Wednesday, June 3, from 7 – 8. Free with admission. To register, visit www.towerhillbg.org.
