Professional Development Workshops

Professional Development Workshops for Individual Schools or Educators' Groups

We will gladly work with your staff to develop a program tailored to support your professional development goals for science and other areas of study. Programs are available for asynchronous or synchronous participation, online, for the 2020–2021 school year. Programs may include inquiry-based classroom explorations, nature and plant community exploration, and guidance for hands-on "potting-up" horticultural activities.

Some suggested workshop topics include the following:

  • Kitchen Botany: Plants We Eat
  • Exploring Plant Adaptations
  • Sensory Learning in the Garden
  • Native New Yorkers: Exploring Native Plant Communities
  • Food and Social Justice
  • Agriculture and our Food System
  • Urban Environmental Sustainability
