The gardener's NEW best friend

I found this really awesome group/site/organization, so I'm going to rave about it for this whole post. I've heard of the Nature Conservancy group, I'm not sure exactly what they do, but I always figured it's good cause I like nature, and I like protecting it. So, I found this site by them that is beyond awesome and has me wanted to learn everything about them.

This program, Nature Works Everywhere, brings your garden to your tablet in ways that can engage any adult, like me, older kids who might not be into gardening, and even whole schools. It has resources for all of that! I haven't explored much beyond designing & planning my own garden, but take a look.....

First, the homepage. I signed up & did all that good stuff. 

*Sidenote: I haven't received one "promo" email yet, so another star on their chart for that!

Next, you design your garden. You can go back and change any of this.

You do perimeter, you can add paving, structures, different types of plants (veggies, pollinators, flower beds, etc.) At this point, you'll also name your garden.

Now, you'll have a dashboard like this: 

Now the fun starts!

Tracking what your garden does.

Through data collection, done by gardeners, and the resources of the site, it tracks all of this information:

You, your older children, your students, whoever, can make entries into different journals and track this info all season! Here are two I'm excited about and J will be doing when he's older. He's three, so I don't expect him to be capable of that, yet! haha

I am very excited about this, so go visit, https://www.natureworkseverywhere.org/home/

Let me know your thoughts, if you explore the sight more, or any activity ideas you have for the kiddos!

Just an fyi, I was not paid for this. I just think it's awesome and I will always promote non-profit organizations that I like.
