JLA members work in the Children's
Garden and directly interact with
children. JLA members receive training to be familiar with the garden
and the health and learning elements of the Children's Garden.
 |
JLA members staff Discovery
Stations in the garden where they use props and questions to
educate the casual visitor in an informal manner. Discovery
Stations offer crafts and creative education to the children,
such as face painting, making bee bookmarks, and conducting
experiments with seeds. |
JLA members are also available to answer questions regarding the
Children's Garden and the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. JLA members
staff the garden on Thursday afternoons from 3:00 to 6:00pm and
on Saturdays and Sundays.
| JLA members are hands-on volunteers
in the garden with direct interaction. The goal of our volunteers
is to help informally educate children about our environment
and the role it plays in our health and well being. We provide
many volunteers to help the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in these
efforts and our direct involvement is felt both by this organization
and the children we meet. |
