9.30-12pm
In this 2.5 h session, our Little Stewards tend to their own designated garden space. They harvest produce, dig beds, plant seeds, and learn to truly care for the land.
We begin each session with a child-appropriate sharing circle, where every child is given space to be heard by the group. This is followed by a seasonal story or song, to help us truly attune to the natural world around us.
Through sociocratic decision-making, the children choose what needs to be prioritised in the garden that day, guided gently by the facilitators’ knowledge.
Once the work is complete, the harvesting begins. Wild foods, vegetables, herbs — all gathered and transformed into a communal meal after.
When we cook, we always use age-appropriate knives and tools, and children are invited to share their ideas on how to cook the veg they’ve just gathered. Each session includes space for recipe creation, experimentation, and a growing sense of food autonomy.
We always close with a gratitude ritual, honouring the land, the labour, and one another.
