With your test gardens, you can contribute scientific information by monitoring connections between plant growth and climate. What discoveries will be made from the data collected by Journey North citizen scientists?

Springtime events occur at different times in different places. Track Test Gardens to discover how different climate conditions affect plant growth.

Seasonal change is all around us. Children see it in the length of a day, in the appearance of a flower, in the flight of a butterfly. Journey North is a free, Internet-based program that explores the interrelated aspects of seasonal change. Citizen scientists across North America share their own observations of migrations and other signs of the seasons.
