Program Description

Event Description

Sustainable Gardening for Kids is an engaging, hands-on activity designed to educate the youth about the importance of the 3 R's: recycle, reuse, and reduce. Our primary focus is to create a fun and interactive learning experience centered around being sustainable and using everything within your home. Children will discover the fascinating beginning of the food cycles and learning to sprout a seed, transplant a seedling. 

Native Farming Solutions is a collective of passionate educators and experienced gardeners who are dedicated to sharing their knowledge with the community. Our lead instructor & Executive Director, Travis Andrews, has extensive experience working with one of the premier community gardens in the metro area, where he provides fresh produce and educational classes to schools and communities. His passion for sustainable food systems has earned him a national community food systems fellowship and has motivated him to create innovative solutions for urban communities.
