Schools

I adore working with children. Their enthusiasm, curious minds, silly sense of humor and endless questions are a joy. Well Grown school programs aim to nurture children’s connection with the world around them, encouraging exploration and stewardship.

School programs

Our all-year school program is tailored to primary school students. Students will learn a variety of skills and nature based topics:

• care for our environment

• food growing methods

• pollinators and their role

• plants life cycles

• life in the soil.

Children get to be as hands on as they choose and are encouraged to try new foods and activities in a way they feel safe to do. When we can’t be outdoors, students will spend the session in class, enjoying activity sheets, talking about the seasons or creating nature-based art.

We work closely with classroom teachers to relate garden sessions to ongoing curriculum, such as sustainability programs or science lessons.

Day sessions

We offer nature based activities for schools who wish to bring in an outside educator for a one-day session. Activities are age appropriate and tailored to fit allocated time. Previous clients incorporated the sessions into a school wide Sustainability Day.
