* Check out one of our partner's resources for gardening
with kids. www.KidsGardening.org has many projects
and activities. Pick a few and share them with your
customers. Sell them the materials they will need in an
easy-to-buy package deal.
* Encourage families to get involved in one of the cool
plant-based citizen scientist projects they can do
in and around their homes and communities. The
Chicago Botanic Garden's national BudBurst project is
one of our favorites (budburst.org).
Partner with your local garden club. Most clubs are very
interested in reaching children and families and introducing
them to gardening. They likely have volunteers who would
love to work with you on projects. Find garden clubs near you
who are affiliated with either the Garden Club of America
(www.gcamerica.org) or the National Garden Clubs (www.
gardenclub.org). Be safe of course! And, by the way - help
change the vernacular. It's about physical distancing not
social isolation.
The Next Generation of Hort Leaders
But what of the long-term issue most lawn and garden
retailers are facing? That is, who will take the reins and have
the expertise to provide the technology, science, art and
business acumen necessary to fill the open positions in the
green-collar industry? Who will replace you when you retire?
The answer again is you - and me, the entire horticulture
industry, and everyone who already works with plants. It is
about collaboration, and the Seed Your Future movement
can help. " Planted " in 2014, Seed Your Future was formed
by a partnership of horticulture companies, gardening
organizations, schools, colleges and universities, public
gardens and youth organizations who are united by the
mission to promote horticulture and inspire more people to
pursue careers working with plants.
If kids don't notice the plants in the world around them,
how can they develop a life-long appreciation for plants,
and why would they ever have an interest in a career
working with plants? We must show them how plants
impact our lives every day, and the diversity of careers
