Nature Exploration

Today’s children spend far less time outdoors than generations before them. Greenspaces are rapidly succumbing to urban and suburban development. Seedschool offers children a rare opportunity for nature immersion.

Following the seasons from Solstice to Equinox, Equinox to Solstice, children will explore nature and gardening as they help design and plant the Farm Garden and explore the climbing tree.
We will grow native plants, vegetables and fruit trees. Children will learn about seed starting, planting times, soil health and pollination. They will carry water, dig holes, prune and harvest. They will care for our school chickens who live in a custom built bus-mini-coop and have an outdoor play-yard. We will keep a classroom nature journal to document our experiences.

“Passion is lifted from the earth itself by the muddy hands of the young; it travels along grass-stained sleeves to the heart. If we are going to save environmentalism and the environment, we must also save an endangered indicator species: the child in nature.”
― Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder
