Founded in 2012, iDig2Learn allows children and their families to explore science and the origin of food through plant life. iDig2Learn provides programming for all ages, the young and young-at-heart, by offering teaching garden sessions, ecology talks, nature walks, stargazing and free public events, like City of Forest day, that promote restorative practices. Experiencing the wonders of nature gives neighbors a reason to come together and compels us to better protect each other and our natural surroundings. Honored to speak at the United Nations on sustainability across various industries, iDig2Learn’s recent initiatives include building an urban forest to expand the tree canopy on Roosevelt Island and the Bellies, Bins and Beauty project which advocates for food into bellies, food scraps into bins for compost, and then using that compost to beautify our neighborhoods and strengthen our health by growing food. Founder, Christina Delfico’s early career was dedicated to creating and producing children’s media with Sesame Workshop which helped her recognize the joy of learning at every age. iDig2Learn is celebrating 10 years of service to communities throughout NYC, thanks to generous supporters like you.

iDig2Learn is a project of Open Space Institute, a nonprofit 501(c)3 public charity which serves as our fiscal sponsor.
