Tiers two and three of the Garden Apprentice Program have been working on various environmental action projects around BBG this summer with the intent to educate the public on the urgent issue of global climate change and our power to enact change.
The culminating group project is a sculpture they created from discarded goods we gathered from around BBG like plastic bags, newspapers and cardboard boxes. They have worked long and hard for several weeks organizing and crafting their vision. The final product will be on display in the rotunda following the end of this week—please stop by to admire their work.
We were also able to enter the project into a craft contest put on by 350.org, which is a website that advocates to reduce national carbon emissions to below 350 ppm. We would like to invite you to check out the 350.org website to view our project and to please vote for GAPsummer’s “Average U.S. Citizen.” The contest is judged based on viewer responses so the more votes the better.

We hope you enjoy our piece and will join us in taking action to curb your own carbon emissions and raise awareness about our power to make a difference. Thank you so much and have a great evening.

That's great to see yet another chapter of your fan club speaking up! Can you link up your BBG kids with your P-Valle kids?!
