Episode 3 - History, Humility, Homeschooling, and Hope - An African American Experience

April has been such a busy month. Even as it is about to end, there is so much more to share. Did you know this is Kid's gardening month? If you have never heard of Kidsgardening.org, it is definitely a resource worth checking out. There are options for engaging children in connecting with the earth as an educator, a homeschooler, or as a parent. Ideas such as making botanical paper (a great gift) and gardening with scraps can add the chance for one on one engagement with your child. What a great way to make a memory!

Speaking of homeschooling, Paula Penn-Nabrit homeschooled her children due to unfortunate circumstances of non-acceptance. Not being deterred, Paula and her husband Charles, connected with the surrounding community and raised Ivy League Twins. She has written several books on this topic and more. Sharing her story hopefully will serve as a bit of hope for others who are balancing the art of "unexpected homeschooling". Paula has a unique perspective on life, family, and homeschooling - even as a business owner, working full-time, and of course, learning how to garden with family as well as in her community. This strong African-American woman is a terrific example of a perennial in the g garden of life.
