Worcester County Horticultural Society

Education - all of nebg's educational offerings are designed to create an inquisitive, knowledgeable, diverse community, inspired to steward and advocate for the natural world. We seek to empower people to work towards a sustainable future and to address the growing disconnect between people and plants. By experiencing the natural world in youth education programs at the garden and in the community, children gain knowledge and understanding of the natural world, becoming advocates for the environment and lifelong stewards. Interaction with plants through nebg's educational programs and events allows all visitors to strengthen their connection to the world around them, build skills to identify and solve environmental challenges, and gain an awareness and sensitivity to these issues.
