Garden Critter Academy

Meet some Garden Super Heroes!

Bring the garden into your classroom! Join urban farmer Lisa Taylor in a music and movement filled exploration of four super heroes of the organic garden -- predators, pollinators, insects and decomposers. Through music, movement, storytelling and puppetry discover how spiders, bees, ladybugs, butterflies and worms help make our gardens healthy and how we can invite them to live in our yards. Learning about these amazing creatures gives us a better understanding of their important role in a healthy garden.
