What can you notice without going far?
A garden can be a place to ask better questions about living things. Begin with an observation, then follow one process in more detail. The guides below separate suggestions for noticing from results of controlled experiments.
- Plan a small pollinator-friendly garden — Consider local flowers, nesting opportunities and pesticide exposure together.
- Observe life in a small garden — Begin with a short field notebook and the relationships around a patch of green.
- Understand the composting process — Follow suitable materials, air and moisture through a small garden cycle.
Compost is a living system.
Follow the transformation from fallen leaves and suitable food scraps to a material you can return to the garden.
A small garden can offer more than flowers.
Plan a small pollinator-friendly space by considering seasonal flowers, nesting places and pesticide exposure in your own region.
