Our disconnection from nature has never been greater and this is resulting in not only a crisis for our planet but for our own well-being too. Ciara Byrne, the founder of Green Our Planet, has been using school gardens to help bridge this disconnect. Through her organization, these green spaces are more than just a cool project—they're a way to teach kids about taking care of our planet and each other. And it's working! She's helping to plant seeds of change and watching hope, connection, and environmental stewardship bloom right before our eyes.

What YOU Can Do

• Take a walk outside. Even if it's just around your neighborhood. Observe the trees, the birds, the animals, and even the insects. Give yourself space to connect and enjoy it.
• Plant a garden, even if it's just some pots on your balcony.
• Advocate for getting school gardens and/or hydroponics at your local school.
• Inform others about the benefits of school gardens and share Green Our Planet's mission on social media to raise awareness.

Resources

• Green Our Planet Website: A resource hub for starting a school garden, with guides and success stories.
