It takes gardens to classrooms…and uses the garden as a classroom at its urban teaching farm.\r\nFayth Ross and Elsa DeJong talk about the summer farm camp, programming for home-schooling families, and collaborations with local schools.\r\nFarm Camp\r\nDuring the summer and school breaks, Urban Roots runs programming for children at its urban teaching farm.\r\nDeJong explains that there is a different theme each week. Themes include:\r\n\r\n* \r\nA bug’s life\r\n\r\n* \r\nOnce upon a farm\r\n\r\n* \r\nAll about bees\r\n\r\n\r\nWoven into this farm camp curriculum are literature, art, engineering, music — and cooking.\r\nFarm School\r\nThis program for home-schooling families takes place twice a week during the academic year, and includes lessons, games, and farm chores.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/_y3e1k24nMlKLGYUZdhBsMgezF6u9k_5w92OUmAhniI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kMTFk/NDg3ODQxNjE2MGM1/ZWMwNGVhOTgyZTY1/NmZhOC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
