Think/Do

Try out the activities in this module as time allows.

There are a number of hands-on activities that can be done during your in-person sessions. They are designed to be done individually, as a class or in small groups. They may also serve as homework. Ask your CCE volunteer coordinator to access the Garden-Based Learning Library to download and explore more of these activities. 

THINK:

  • What captivates you the most about the lives of plants?
  • Why is a scientific name important?
  • Why might it be important for gardeners to know how to research and identify a plant’s scientific name?
  • What more do you want to know about plants in general or about a specific family, species, or cultivar?
