Bloom and Grow: Creating an Illustrated Book and Learning Games on Native Plants for Children
“Children’s Book and Learning Games on Indiana Native Plants & Habitats,” a 2023 ASLA student project winner, is an effort by five landscape architecture students to convey to a young audience two important things we learn in college: native plants, and the right plant in the right place. By integrating this knowledge into children’s early education, dramatic changes can be catalyzed in local ecosystems and networks and promote healthier habitats. The well-designed book and thought-out games not only allow children to grow and engage with landscape design, but also simplify landscape planning and decision-making. The process and the final product are innovative applications of knowledge-based systems to spread awareness and educate young people.
