Permaculture (5-7 yr olds)
Thursday: 10:30AM to 2:00 PM
Start/End: Sept 2024 // June 2025 × 31 Sessions
Location: Spider Lake Road
Our program follows the Principles of Forest School, where children are encouraged to engage in child-directed and play-based learning. We believe in hands-on experiences, allowing children to explore various activities such as planting and harvesting, seed-to-table cooking, crafting herbal medicine, and Earthworks. Additionally, we'll delve into the wonders of Wildcrafting and explore the vibrant colors offered by nature. We honor seasonal turning by celebrating earth-based festivals throughout the year, renewing our awareness of our deep connection with the earth and its rhythms.
Children will collaborate with each other to create nature and farm-related artworks, some of which they can take home, while others will remain on the farm as a legacy project. Gathering around the fire for storytelling and music will further foster valuable life skills and create unforgettable memories. One of the highlights of the day is sharing meals together that we've harvested and prepared as a team
