The gardening program will include hands-on activities, where the children will get their hands dirty, while gaining an appreciation for growing their own food. We will explore various techniques for planting vegetables, herbs and flowers, and also have fun with gardening related arts and crafts. The gardening program will include planting, cultivating, harvesting and eating while focusing on environmental sustainability and stewardship,. The goal of the gardening program is to teach the children the importance of growing their own food but also to have an appreciation of our natural world. There will be opportunities for field trips (TBD). At the start of each class, I would like to begin with a circle where we will discuss gardening related topics, say a verse, storytelling (either read a garden storybook or have the students tell a story). At the end of each class we will have a closing circle.
Class start September 13th from 2p-3:30 and run through end of May with breaks for thanksgiving, winter and spring.

One of Ziva’s fondest memories of her childhood, (while growing up in South Africa), was creating a vegetable garden in her backyard. She has carried this practice throughout her life, and now loves sharing her wonder for nature, and her knowledge of gardening to both young and old. Ziva studied permaculture and utilizes this philosophy in her gardening techniques. She currently teaches gardening at two schools in Agoura Hills, where she not only instills a love for gardening but also teaches her students to be guardians of our beloved mother earth by caring for our soil, the plants, the animals and all living beings.
