Garden Climate Action Legend
Our Garden Climate Action Legend was created in response to growing awareness that youth are experiencing climate change —and its associated anxiety. Gardening can be a source of hope and empower young people to take meaningful action for their communities. The Garden Climate Action Legend sorts gardening into six climate action themes. In this resource, you‘ll find examples and activities for each climate action theme that show how gardening is a form of climate action.
