NJ School Garden/Native Plant Workshop for Teachers

The NJ DEP's Division of Fish and Wildlife, in cooperation with the Native Plant Society, will host a workshop entitled "Help Your School Go WILD with Native Plants" at the New Jersey Science Teachers Convention in Somerset on October 13. The class will offer an introduction to DEP's Wild School Site program, include examples of native plants specific to the geographic regions of the state, and highlight recent school projects. Participants will also find a framework and lesson plans for developing a school garden, and will have an opportunity to obtain free native plants to start their own project. http://www.npsnj.org/temp/TeachersConvention.html
