Chef Selma and her broccoli friend are here for our first Garden Talk! Are you ready to grow a windowsill vegetable garden together?
How to use this content
This is the second video in a series, following last week's introduction video. We are launching a new video every Tuesday, following our regular learning trajectory.
This week, we bring you a version of the first lesson in our classroom gardening and cooking program. We talk about gardens, seeds, and soil; there are some exploring, writing, and drawing exercises in this lesson, and we will plant a windowsill vegetable garden together. You can expect this lesson to fill about 30 minutes.
Our Spring program is aimed at kids in grades 1, 2, and 3, but folks of all ages will likely learn something new! If it’s possible for an adult to be around during these lessons, that would be great. Our growing chefs might need their help a couple of times. We will let you know in the video when there are good moments to offer some help.
You can find this new online content here on our website, and we will be making announcements about it on our social media (facebook, twitter, instagram). Thank you so much for your patience while we reinvent ourselves and our programs. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or comments.
