Our Homeschool Garden Curriculum
Less a prescription for learning and more a record of what we’re doing and how we’re doing it, all organized into four simple, interdisciplinary, yet classically recognizable school subjects.
Covering the Basics from a Slow Foods Perspective…
STEM
Exploring the many sciences of food production - plants and soil, agriculture, botany, ecology, permaculture, natural history, sustainability, conservation, etc.
Creativity & the Arts
Building skills, testing out artistic tools and techniques, finding inspiration and expressing oneself creatively, with the garden as the backdrop of our studio.
People, Places & Culture
Getting to know the foods of the world, who grows them, how they eat and celebrate with what they grow, and how food influenced the evolution of culture.
Health & Wellness
Exploring the relationship between the foods we grow, how we grow them, and how we feed and care for our bodies, minds, and our social-emotional selves.
