Planting seeds that grow more than healthy food
In our children's gardening circles, we are fostering within children
a sense of community.
We are providing them the space to develop their relationships with all
living beings they encounter.
The garden provides the children with whole body learning.
Learning is fun and natural in a garden.
A child's interests are the beginning of so many learning paths.
Teacher watches and guides in a playful manner, allowing the child's pace for exploration.
A child's desire determines how participation and contribution will happen in the garden circle.
San Francisco Children's Gardening Circles are facilitated by an experienced and passionate early educators that delights in watching the garden develop the whole child.
