Week 1: June 29-July 2: Flying, Feathered Friends
Listen closely, can you hear a bird singing? We’ll tune in to the world of birds in and around the garden this week. Observation, songs, skits, games, and projects will all be inspired by the cacophony of bird song and sounds that fill the air.
Week 2: July 6-9: Ethnobotany
Plants and humans evolved alongside one another in a symbolic dance of discovery and creation. Come along on a journey through time to discover how people once lived and crafted with the materials around them.
Week 3: July 13-16: A Garden of Stories
Who else calls the garden home? We’ll take a close look at life all around, big, small and miniscule. We’ll discover new species that have been hiding in plain sight. We will hear their stories and create our own.
Week 4: July 20-23: Plant Magic
With the garden reaching its full summer brilliance, we will explore the mysterious and magical world of plants! We will cook with plants that nourish, learn the ones that heal, build with plants that are flexible and strong, and fill canvases with plants that provide pigment.
Week 5: July 27-30: Eat Your Way Around the World
Put on your chef hat and we’ll travel the world through our taste buds, learning where our favorite garden foods come from and how cultures around the world use fresh ingredients to cook delicious meals.
Week 6: August 3-6: Down in the Ground
In the dog days of summer, who hasn’t thought of crawling under the cool soil to hide from the heat? We’ll get grounded while imagining what life is like underground. We will meet and join forces with the decomposers that build the soil, play and sculpt with clay and earth, and make edible and compostable creations.
