About Julie Cerny
Julie Cerny is an educator, gardener, and aspiring homesteader living in New York’s Hudson Valley. A longtime lover of food, flowers, trees, and the earth that grows them, she strives to live as an active member of the ecological systems that sustain her.
“Of all of the experiences I’ve had working with children outdoors, gardening is where I’ve seen the most inspirational interactions between children and nature take place. When children are in gardens, sparks fly. As they cocreate with nature to grow food that nourishes them, children witness a direct connection between nature and their own wellbeing. They see that the natural world is made up of many natural systems engaging with each other and they see how they can affect those systems.”
