GARDENING & NATURE with Brooklyn Seed’s Eman Rashid.This gardening and nature class teaches how to grow food, about native and invasive plants and their effect our wildlife and about the environment by adopting and caring for neighborhood trees. In winter, kids learn to sprout food in water and in soil. They also make bird feeders, explore pickling, and take one houseplant and multiply it into many.
BROOKLYN SEEDS believes in treating children with respect while teaching them to take care of the earth around them. Eman practices a method called Non-Violent Communication (NV), whereby listening, reflection, compassion and kindness are used in every-day teaching. Gardening teaches children about the earth and allows them to connect to nature. The act of learning to care for living things around us is an empowering one. Gardening can help calm children while also thrilling them to the core. www.brooklynseeds.net.
