Join historian Miranda Mote for a storytime about children and plants in the early 1700s.
After storytime, we will work with leaves to make nature prints and leaf rubbings to imagine and write their own story about plants.
Participants will receive a take home kit of crayons (to make leaf rubbings), a notebook and a HIVE memory and matching game about plants.
Miranda Mote, PhD is a historian, artist, and educator based in Philadelphia and the 2023-24 Garden Club of America / Prince Charitable Trusts Rome Prize, Landscape Architecture Fellow. She teaches history and design, works with children in K-12 schools and public venues, designs teaching games for children, and is currently writing an arts focused literacy and botany curriculum of lessons designed especially for children that live in urban environments. She established Botanography in 2022 as a non-profit to directly serve students and families in Philadelphia County and believes that every school should have a garden classroom where students can connect with plants every day.
This program is intended for children in grades first and up.
