Dig Art! activities cultivate creativity

Dig Art! posterVia Christine Hadekel, Cornell Garden-Based Learning Program:

This garden season, Cornell Garden-Based Learning is excited to launch Dig Art! Cultivating Creativity in the Garden, our new online guide to garden arts.

Dig Art! provides helpful tips on everything from how to grow an art garden, to which kinds of plants to harvest for different natural dyes. You can find activities on making gourd birdhouses, flower mandalas, grass photographs, seed necklaces, concrete leaf castings, and more!

We provide helpful tips on how to lead these activities safely and sustainably with children and youth, and are currently linking all Dig Art! activities to the NYS learning standards (so to all those New York State teachers out there – stay tuned!)

To order your free Dig Art! toolkit (welcome letter, poster, activity cards) send an email to Max Welcome at mw45@cornell.edu with your name, organization, and contact information.
