COMMUNITY EDUCATION

Creating meaningful, accessible learning experiences starts with community partnerships. Our educational programs, built in collaboration with area educators and youth-serving organizations, connect young people with plants and inspire lifelong environmental awareness. 

Through four different nature-based educational programs, youth from under-resourced communities in greater Worcester learn about habitats, tree science, climate change, environmental justice, green industry careers, and more. The Garden’s passionate and innovative education team creates experiences that inspire students to engage with STEAM topics. By working closely with community partners, we develop mission-focused programs around the interests and needs of students. 

Thanks in part to our generous funders, the Garden is able to offer the following educational programs to partners at reduced rates or no charge. To learn more about how our team may be able to work with your school, after-school program, community youth group, or youth organization, contact Community Education Coordinator Aiden Duffy at aduffy@nebg.org.
