Seed Balls
Students learn about native wildflowers and pollinators while getting their hands dirty creating seed balls to build local green spaces.

Farm Field Trip
A half-day immersion at our 10-acre farm. Students perform farm chores, practice plant identification, and experience the freedom to roam.

What Teachers Are Saying
"Many of our students are At-Risk/Title 1 students, whose families can't afford to pay for programs. The public schools are also short with money and are not always allowed to spend on extra programs. Having a free, nature based STEM program is a wonderful addition that creates the hands-on experience that most of the public school system curriculum lacks. This experience was an engaging time for all!"
"Our demographic is often inside smaller domiciles (like apartments) or come from families where both parents have full-time jobs, and they may not have access to outdoor spaces. Exposure to Nature is both grounding and stimulating for them."
