Welcome to the Brooklyn Rewilders & Edible Anarchy Spring Gardening Class at Arts & Letters United School!
Our Spring 2026 Class meets Wednesday, April 15 to June 17 from 2:40-4:30 pm in the schoolgarden
Let’s dig in 🌱
Spring is planting season, and this class is fully hands-on as we finally plant our beautiful school garden!
This joyful afterschool adventure blends gardening, cooking, art, and nature play for our youngest learners. Designed for our older elementary children (with age-appropriate differentiation), this interactive program continues to enrich foundational gardening and culinary concepts through curiosity, creativity, and the five senses.
This semester, we’ll plant and tend our school garden together — from early radishes and kale to carrots and peas that we can harvest and eat by May. Each week we focus on a different vegetable. We’ll:
Children dig in the soil, start seeds, water seedlings, observe roots, track growth, harvest what we grow, and prepare simple recipes together. This is experiential learning at its best — muddy hands, curious minds, and proud little growers.
What We’ll Explore
Each week includes interactive, garden-based activities such as:
Direct planting in our spring beds
Early harvest crops: radishes, kale, carrots, peas
Vegetable tasting labs
Making vegetable-based paints
Simple cooking projects like fresh pesto and quick pickles
Nature art and garden journaling
Storytime and outdoor picnics
Along the way, students build:
Early science skills (life cycles, soil, weather, plant anatomy)
Confidence and teamwork
Positive, hands-on food experiences
A deep understanding of where food comes from
By the end of the semester, our gardeners will:
🌱 Show care and responsibility for living plants
👃 Use their five senses to explore and describe the natural world
🤝 Practice cooperation and group participation
🥕 Harvest and prepare vegetables they grew themselves
🎨 Experiment creatively with food as art
All children receive:
A personal garden journal notebook
Supplies for each lesson
Reusable glass jars for take-home projects
Fresh food from our garden
Class meets primarily outdoors in the school garden, weather permitting, with indoor space available as needed.
Snacks provided. Scholarships available.
Please contact us with any questions. You can learn more about our nonprofit project Brooklyn Rewilders on our website. We can’t wait to grow with you this spring!
Important: After completing the registration form, you must finalize payment using the shopping cart icon at the bottom of the screen in order to secure your child’s spot.
