Soil Microbiology Lab
Crop Succession Planting
Pollinator Habitat Mapping
Students prepare slide mounts of active compost and worm castings, identifying nematodes, protozoa, and fungal hyphae under field microscopes with instructor guidance.
Each student measures root depth, calculates spacing inside raised cedar beds, and transplants seasonal brassica seedlings directly into living loam substrate.
Classes track native bee activity, inspect insect nesting blocks along the perimeter trellis, and document flowering companion plants that shield food crops.
Field trip parameters
Every visit includes dedicated agricultural educators, sanitized tool sets, and outdoor handwashing stations designed to keep student groups secure and focused.
Chaperone Ratios
Enclosed Farm Safety
Classroom Seedling Kits
We require one adult chaperone per eight elementary students or ten middle schoolers. Chaperones receive orientation packets upon arrival at the gate.
All beds feature smoothed cedar edges free of chemical treatments. Pathways accommodate wheelchairs and standard mobility devices across packed pea gravel surfaces.
Every student takes home a peat-free propagation pod with heirloom seeds and care logs to continue root observation exercises back at school.
