Plants have the power to change our lives. They enable the simple and therapeutic pleasure of working in one’s own garden. They play a basic role in providing clean air and serve as a nutritious basis for healthy living. And they are uniquely effective teaching tools. For more than 30 years, NGA has been working to renew and sustain the essential connection between people, plants, and the environment through gardening. Our programs and initiatives highlight the opportunities for plant-based education in schools, communities, and backyards across the country. We serve as a bridge to connect people to gardening in five core fields: plant-based education, health and wellness, environmental stewardship, community development, and responsible home gardening.

Our home page says it all in pictures: in your world, science is everywhere you look. Click on the bee or the tractor or the fish or the satellite--or anything else that turns your cursor into a pointing finger. That will take you right into the world of the Agricultural Research Service, or ARS. (Or see the contents.) Sci4Kids is a series of stories about what scientists do here at the ARS. Geared to kids about 8 to 13 years old, it is produced by the ARS Information Staff in Beltsville, Maryland. We bet you'll agree that much of what our scientists do is not what you might expect.
