Spring – Urban Farming

Offered April – June

Urban Farming

No matter where we live in the city we can find a place to grow our own food. Children learn how community spaces, patio gardening, even composting and honey bees play an important role in a city garden.

What Kids Say

Dear Uli,

Thank you for coming. I enjoyed it when you taught us about fruit, like figs, mango, kiwi, and other fruits. I also liked the stories you taught us like the one about the voyagers who were looking for food. I hope you will come again. Hope you're doing well.

- Charel

P.S. Next year I'm going to be in 4th grade.
