About Us
iDig2Learn celebrates NYC nature and restorative practices by inviting the young and young-at-heart to experience our natural world.
​
Through events and programming, food and pollinator gardens,
Miyawaki Method Pocket Forests and urban green roof farms we discover our deeper connection to all living things within our skies, land and water.
​
iDig2Learn loves getting up close and personal with plant life which has served as an anchor to explore the origin of food and also nourish new friendships.
​
We invite you to join us year round as we learn more from our plant, bird, butterfly, mushroom and marine friends about our role in
preserving their realm.

Our Vision
When we have positive experiences in nature and build our expertise together, we are more likely to care for each other and our world.
We strongly believe that everyone deserves clean water, air and land and when we come together to protect those essential resources we form bonds and friendships which last for decades.

Founding Story
In 2012, Christina Delfico founded iDig2Learn because she recognized the need for a local organization that would connect city children, and their families, with nature.
​
Leveraging her expertise as an Emmy-nominated children's media producer, she saw the chance to create programs for children that balanced green time with screen time
and encourage outdoor learning.
​
Developing and facilitating enriching opportunities soon expanded to include spotlighting smart waste reduction practices to support a healthy environment.​
Today, iDig2Learn creates experiences for all ages and abilities.
Our Partners
iDig2Learn is where we are today thanks to the generosity of partners.

​
Thanks to all our plant, butterfly, bird, wild bee, tree, leaf, marine, mushroom and more friends for
showing us the sky, land and water.
​
We are nothing without you!
