Get your hands dirty and take home something green!

Plants aren't that hard to take care of. Once you know the basics, you can apply them to pretty much any plant you come across. Let me show you how it works.

We start with instant gratification where you'll move a little seedling from one container to another, so you already have a plant to take home. I also pair that with planting a seed from scratch. That way you see both parts of growing: the right-now satisfaction AND the magia of watching something grow from nothing.

Everything's already set up when you arrive. We work at tables with bowls of soil and spoons for scooping. Your kids will learn that plants just need the right cariño. Everyone goes home with two pots, care guides, and probably some dirt under their fingernails.

What you’ll learn: Gardening and plant identification skills

The basics: All ages welcome | About an hour | Casual clothes that can get messy

See your neighborhood with fresh eyes

You've seen that plant in your neighborhood a hundred times. Now you'll finally know what it is.

During this Miami nature workshop, we'll walk through your local park using all our senses — touching tree bark that feels like scratchy sandpaper, spotting orchids that grow right on tree branches for shade, and noticing how that vine is taking over a tree trunk and figuring out why.

I bring field guides and when I remember, binoculars to share (such a treat to take turns looking). You'll learn which plants grow here in South Florida, how to identify poison ivy (don't touch that!), and gain that sense of place. It’s that conexión of knowing your little corner of Miami.

What you’ll learn: Plant identification skills, plant-pollinator relationships

Good to know: 1-2 hour walks | Dress accordingly - nature can be best appreciated in both the sunlight and rain | Grab the Seek or iNaturalist app if you can!

Where creativity meets curiosity

Nature journaling is the perfect way to de-stress and find your spark of creativity. If you're flipping through a magazine and see a picture of a landscape that inspires you, you can journal about that. Or, you might have potted plants in your house. Take five minutes to look at it. Anything in nature that’s around you is journaling.

We'll work with plant materials I bring, or bring that leaf from the tree in your front yard. You'll draw, write, reflect — observing nature in a way that feels personal and relevant to your life.

Perfect for kids 7 and up who can hold a pencil and write or draw. This is also for adults who need moments of calm and peace. 

What you’ll learn: eco-art making, observation skills, scientific writing skills

What I provide: Writing pencils, markers, colored pencils, crayons | Sometimes scissors, glue sticks, tape | Plant materials and books with detailed pictures | Optional: Bring your own journal for a personal touch

Plant lessons rooted in our South Florida reality

As an educator, non profit, or university, you’re ready to tend your garden (in a digital format).

The first thing we’ll do is chat about your initial needs. This could be your timeline, or specifics for a particular document. Some areas of expertise include: gardening skills, basic botany or plant-pollinator relationships.

My curriculum structure is organized in text boxes and charts so it's easy to read and follow. Each lesson has the basics: title, timeframe, supplies, vocabulary, introduction. Then we build from there. After that, it depends on the scope of your project. You may need discussion questions, instructor notes, or extension activities. Whatever helps you feel confident teaching about our ecosystem.

At the end, you take home ready to print as booklets or share as PDFs with your team.

This is iterative because we're developing it together. I can check in weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or whatever fits your schedule. You'll see my progress, give feedback, and we'll adjust. We nurture it until it's exactly what you envisioned.
