Created by kids, for kids.

This is a place to learn, make, explore, and share creative ideas inspired by nature. You’ll find kid-created guides, art projects, and ways to use your imagination away from screens.

Learn

Start with the Native Plants of Maryland guide and discover trees, flowers, shrubs, grasses, groundcovers, and fruiting plants in our neighborhood.

Create

Try nature-inspired art and hands-on projects using simple materials like leaves, sticks, acorns, pinecones, and flowers.
