Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - 1
This self-paced class is designed to engage learners in fun, creative and empowering learning experiences focused on gardening. The course includes invitations to explore a variety of gardening skills, plant facts, and fun DIY art & gardening projects. In addition to offering information about gardening skills & facts, the videos featured in this class will include tours of my solar greenhouse and outdoor gardens on my micro-farm in Northern New Mexico. Videos will include recordings of me leading "topic talks" along with supporting text and imagery. 

🌱Throughout the session learners will be invited to connect with me through messages and/or the classroom page. I welcome any and all updates about your learner’s gardening adventures, plant observations and art projects. 

🌞 CLASS TOPICS: each week will include a short (roughly 10 minute) video, and an engaging PDF activity handout for art & gardening projects🌞
