Celebrate the wonders of nature and the fun of gardening with Lanie, our 2010 Girl of the Year!

She can also make a cute seed label for her mini garden and enjoy a garden-themed scavenger hunt, plus other fun activities. Free and open to the public. For girls ages 8 and up.
The National Wildlife Federation is proud to partner with American Girl 2010 Girl of the Year® Lanie™.
Lanie Holland longs to get outside to explore and experience the great outdoors. But she dreams of exotic adventures in far-off places-- not realizing there are outdoor adventures to be had right in her Boston-area neighborhood. With the help of her Aunt Hannah, Lanie discovers the joys of butterfly and vegetable gardening--and birding and camping--in her own backyard. These outdoor adventures open Lanie’s eyes to the natural world and help her really see--and value--the nature that is all around her. Her story supports our national Be Out There campaign to connect kids with nature.
Lanie's story shows how important it is for children to explore the natural world--and demonstrates the power that even small changes can have on the planet.
Learn more about Lanie and discover ways you and your family can connect with nature.
