This is the garden where all of our activities with children take place. You work in the garden and learn about its plants and management throughout the quarter. We talk about the scientific principles that explain what you are observing in the garden environment. You find out about teaching kids and designing activities that will engage and stimulate them. There are two tours during winter quarter where children come to the garden and you get your feet wet working with them.
Attendance is required.
There is a final project in which you develop, write up, and present an activity for children to do in our garden setting. Call Carol Hillhouse to find out how to enroll. We limit the class to 25. School groups are signed up to come to the garden for tours every week day during spring quarter except Wednesday. You sign up for from one to three, 3-hour shifts per week.
