NYS Leah Homeschool ReWild Garden

 
 

NYS LEAH Homeschool

Located at the Ecological Culture Initiative in Hampton Bays, NY

East End LEAH is a 501(c)(3) Homeschool coop under the broader NYS LEAH (Loving Education At Home) umbrella. Our homeschool kids here on the East End were doing a study on gardening, growing vegetables, soil nutrition, and sustainability, and ReWild presented an opportunity for us to learn more about native plants and how they contribute to the environment.  

We often think of sustainability in regard to growing vegetables, but not about growing soil, air, and pollinators!  This has been a great learning experience for us and the kids have enjoyed being in the garden and seeing the fruits of their labors from preparing the ground to planting.  By partnering with ReWild, ECI and St. Joseph's Villa, the kids are able to participate with three organizations who are all about native plants, sustainable gardening, and pollinators.
