Each week, participants will explore a different area of the Learning Garden and the working farm. Together with Alex, we will investigate vegetables, fruits, animal wool, flowers, chicken feathers, trees, and flowers, then use the magic of science to turn our collected natural items into a project for participants to take home.

Each week features a new theme and project in line with the rhythm of the season and the weather, and may feature any one of the following explorations.

(Project themes to be announced to registrants by Alex a few days in advance of each session, considering weather and seasonal availability of materials.)
