Schoolyards in Bloom

ASLA is excited to share its new Career Discovery resource, Schoolyards in Bloom: Exploring Pollinators through Landscape Architecture! 

Our colorful, double-sided classroom poster is designed to both inspire and engage students in design-centered learning with pollinators.

One side bursts with vibrant colors from ASLA’s DREAM BIG with Design campaign, featuring bold, blooming artwork and key vocabulary that celebrates the wonders of pollination.

Flip it over, and you'll find reproducible activity sheets that spark curiosity and invite students to explore landscape architecture with pollinator-friendly activities.

Whether displayed in a classroom or at home, Schoolyards in Bloom is a flexible learning tool helps connect kids to nature, design, and the important role pollinators play in shaping our world.
