Garden-based Science, Nature, Nutrition & Mindfulness Experiences for Young Global Citizens
We incorporate garden-based science, nutrition and nature in a year-round educational gardening program for kids and teens ages K-12. We also teach about the cultural heritage of the food we grow (we feature many varieties grown by the people who once lived on our land) as well the environmental impact of our gardening practices.
