Read Across America was initiated 16 years ago by the National Education Association (NEA). It is a celebration of reading intended to engage readers through books that will make them “feel included, recognized and a part of the world.”
This year, Ambler Arboretum EarthFest is excited to take part in Read Across America beginning Saturday, March 2, by sharing stories that have inspired us and that help tell the tale of gardening through diverse perspectives. Through stories, author read-alongs, downloadable activities and more, we hope to inspire young, new gardeners to bloom!
Hopefully, you will connect with one — or maybe even all — of the books we’ve chosen to highlight! Maybe you’ll even find that you can see yourself in one of them. Either way, we hope you will join us in celebrating the gifts of reading and horticulture alike! Join us online here.
