The AHS Youth Sensory Gardening Manual
The American Horticultural Society is pleased to introduce the AHS Youth Sensory Gardening Manual, a free new digital resource detailing how to create gardens to support children’s health. The manual was created by AHS and written by Dr. Amy Wagenfeld, professor at University of Washington and past presenter at the AHS National Children & Youth Garden Symposium.
Through an additional collaboration with Kids Cancer Connection, AHS will provide over 200 hospitals throughout the country with the digital manual to support their efforts to improve children’s health.
