Wildflowers Nature School

About

Preschool, summer camp, homeschool enrichment class, & afterschool nature club

Story

Education has come so far from the original, innate way that humans learned for millennia. Here at Wildflowers Nature School, we try to allow the space for the unfolding of inquisitiveness and exploration, for experiencing true wonder and connection in special moments in nature.

Our focus is in 2 intertwining areas:
1) Nature connection - tracking, tree climbing, building with mud, bird watching, utilizing natural materials, sketching, hiking, & best of all exploring.

2) Sustainable living skills
a) primitive skills such as campfire pottery, cordage, debris shelters, grass mat weaving, etc.
b) homesteading skills such as gardening, animal husbandry, food preservation, etc.
c) green building: cob, willow, solar

Our school is just 7 min. from downtown Sebastopol & 13 minutes to Santa Rosa. It's located on Mill Station Road, on 4 1/2 acres of amazing views, extensive gardens (CSA available!), orchard, meadows, and a nature trail that winds through the forest by a creek. We back to the gorgeous Atascadero Wetlands.

Mission

Vision Statement: Running with the natural exuberant wonder of a child towards nature, we nurture imagination, inquisitiveness, confidence, creativity, and a connection to, gratitude for and understanding of the world around them. This will become a solid place within each child that they can continually return to for growth, values, compassion, wisdom and joy in their lives. By fostering a love of nature, practices of stewardship and sustainable living will eventually be driven by the children.
