Root to Bloom: Farm + Forest ONE DAY DROP-IN
Does your child enjoy playing outdoors and learning from the land? This is a weekly earth-based program in July 2025 led by Julia of The Root Nymph and hosted by Maribett Farm in Kingston. Julia is an Eco-educator who is passionate about creating opportunities & holding space for children to tend to their relationship with land in a way that does not instill a hierarchical human/nature separation, but that rather fosters reciprocity and interconnectedness. Maribett Farm is a subsistence family permaculture farm in Kingston that generously hosts a myriad of community gatherings.
This program combines earth-based expressive arts with gardening and ecological education to foster children's relationship and sense of belonging to land. Children will learn about the interconnected and cyclical nature of the ecosystems that they are apart of, while also using art as a way to be in relationship with the “natural” world. This will be a fun, hands-on low pressure experience aiming to foster their innate appreciation for and sense of belonging to our earth while also learning foundational gardening skills.
We will spend our time in the farms greenhouse, by the Maribett’s growing beds, and exploring the conserved forestland abutting the farm.
For children ages 7-12
Space for 4-8 children.
WEDNESDAYS from July 2 - July 23 from 9:30 am - 11:30 am. One-day drop in or full series. THIS IS THE DROP-IN OPTION.
