Creating a Pest Resilient Garden at Turn Back Time to Support Nature- Based Education Programs Public

Nature-based education creates novel opportunities for problem-solving, environmental education, and is critical to social and behavioral development. Turn Back Time is a farm and nature education center, with gardens that provide much of the context for learning. Due to pests, the garden is not yielding the produce needed to create opportunities for learning. We designed and built a novel predator proof-garden system that is designed for efficiency and enhanced learning opportunities.
