After-school nature-based enrichment

Where small kids grow big ideas.

A nurturing space to learn, create, move, and connect with nature after school.

Children explore seed germination, sowing and growing plants, healthy garden ecosystems, emotional regulation, upcycling, caring for the Earth, and nature-inspired arts and crafts.

Sign up for Magic of Gardening

There is magic in learning secrets hidden in the soil.

Each afternoon begins with a soft landing, breathwork, gentle movement, and time to transition from the school day. Children then move into hands-on gardening, horticulture, environmental science, floral design, and nature-inspired art.
