The charm of garden education
“Learn the zest for life in an organic garden” – till the fields, sow seeds, harvest and eat. Through the garden program, children learn about the cycles of nature and sustainable ways of living. The kindergarten division offers “experience and play,” the elementary division “scientific exploration,” and the middle and high school division “connections to society and the economy.” We offer programs tailored to each child’s development.
