Planting seeds that grow more than healthy food
Our children's gardening program, is fostering a children's community.
We are providing children 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.
San Francisco Children's Gardening Circles are facilitated by an experienced and passionate early educator that delights in watching the garden develop the whole child.
Gardening Circles are facilitated by Lin Barcellos.
