Kristen Taylor

Thanks to Kristen Taylor, every class in Little Rock’s Forest Park Elementary has a regular experience in the school’s ROOT garden, planned to complement classroom curriculum. Taylor began as a volunteer and ended up creating a rich environment where students grow vegetables, pick fruit from the orchard, and care for chickens. Through outreach with MonarchWatch.org, the Audubon Society and Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, her students are broadly exposed to butterflies and birds as well!
