         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is not precisely garden-based ed, but as a parent I have found it very useful for understanding the importance of nature based education for children more broadly. They are also good at explaining children's developmental stages and what activities complement and support these stages. It is accessible, digestible info with lots of good activity suggestions. They also have a strong focus on equity and inclusion.</div>]]></description>

Even though it is a NC resource, these resources are very relevant nationwide.&nbsp; - Wendi Holloway</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I have found that parents and other adults within the school community are awesome free resources at times. We have had parents come in to teach about compost tea,  native plants and to help with weed control.  It's easy to get so caught up in looking for resources that we forget what is right close by.   I have also reached out to local nurseries and I have been lucky enough to have plants donated or discounts given.   </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I have visited this site many times since starting the garden club at the library several years ago. It has many resources for gardening activities with children and also provides grant opportunities. In addition, you can sign up (for free!) to be part of their online community, where you can participate in discussions revolving around all topics related to kids' gardening.</div>]]></description>

There were some other great pages as well with excellent printouts, and I have saved them as bookmarks. I plan on using one of the planting and gardening activities this week so I can move away from table-based activities and get exploring in the dirt!</div>]]></description>
