Our Summer Urban Garden Camp aims to:

  • Feel a sense of connection with the soil and organisms that depend on it.
  • Plant and maintain butterfly, vegetable, herb, and shade gardens.

  • Observe the life cycles of plants and animals.

  • Study the purpose, parts, and reproduction of plants.

  • Study the ecology of the garden e.g. plants, insects, microbes, water, etc.
  • Prepare and eat food harvested from the vegetable and herb gardens.
  • Engage in enjoyable trips related to plants and animals, and fun physical activities.

“Our aim is not to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core. We do not want complacent pupils, but eager ones."

                         -Maria Montessori
