A magical 6-week outdoor homeschool adventure for elementary-aged kids! Join us at Nuthatch Gardens for a nature-based program inspired by How to Train Your Dragon! Each week, children become Viking apprentices and dragon trainers as they explore the wonders of the natural world—flower growing, pollination and the plant life cycle, dried flower crafting, floral teas and remedies, and fresh flower arranging—all while learning how real-life “dragon keepers” care for the earth and maintain harmony in their realm.
