Innovative, research-based education for sustainability provides the foundation for all of Ithaca Children’s Garden’s programs, summer camps, school break camps, after school, preschool, seasonal workshops, family programs, and seasonal festivals.
Permaculture, playwork, and child-directed learning are cornerstones of each program, along with a commitment to an inclusive environment that values and respects diversity of culture and identity. Ithaca Children’s Garden strives to inspire, promote, and sustain youth and community stewardship of the natural environment through garden-based learning and discovery.
