Miami Nature Workshops That
Bring Plants to Life
How My Nature Education Come to You
My approach is simple…I come to you. Your farmer's market, neighborhood library, community garden, school, or wherever you already are in Miami, that's where these family-friendly nature classes happen.
We'll get our hands dirty, share stories about which plants your abuela swears by, and discover why our "backwards" growing season makes perfect sense. All tied in through conversaciones that make you see the green spaces around you in a whole new way. Así de simple.
Looking for bilingual environmental education that feels as vibrant as Miami itself? Maybe you're a parent wanting your kids to enjoy learning about plants, or you're an educator needing curriculum that brings your classroom to life, but everything out there feels disconnected from our cultura and climate.
My Miami nature workshops bring botanical learning to life through hands-on experiencias rooted in our South Florida ecosystem, so your kids, students, or educators can finally connect with nature in a way that feels auténtico and relevant to their everyday lives.
Reviews
Stephanie P., Workshop participant in Miami, FL
“I think Tatiana does a great job of explaining things in a way that doesn't make people feel like they do not know the information. Tatiana is very informative during her nature walks and events and her delivery is gentle. Thank you, Tatiana, for doing what you do!”
Dayana B., Mom of three in Miami, FL
“I am deeply grateful for Tatiana. Her work is meaningful, culturally-rooted, and community-oriented. I highly recommend Teachings by Tatiana to anyone looking to reconnect with nature and learn in a way that feels accessible and joyful.”

Not right now. My workshops are curated to teach kids first through fifth grade. This age group is more than likely to be able to hold a pencil, follow along with steps, and have the basic skills needed to really engage with the activities. Younger kids are welcome if parents are actively helping them participate.

Wherever you are in Miami! Libraries, farmers markets, community centers, schools, you name it. You don't need to travel across traffic to connect with nature. Book a consultation with me to learn more about where I can offer my teachings.
-
Your safety is my first concern! I always communicate the plan for outdoor specific venues. Some locations have covered areas we can use, and others might have buildings to go inside. If you're booking a private group, we'll figure out what makes sense for your comfort level.
-
Depends on the venue and your event in mind! At farmers markets, I've worked with up to 80 people over three hours (drop-in style). For more structured workshops at libraries or with private groups, I keep it to 15-20 people max so everyone gets one-on-one time with me.

Sí! We can do one-time workshops or regular sessions — monthly, every other week, whatever works for your group. I can create curriculum specifically for homeschool pod needs. Additionally, I am a a registered provider for Step Up for Students scholarships!

Generic lessons talk about traditional seasons in the United States. We're in Miami. Our growing season is backwards, we grow mangoes not apples, and it's 80° in December. My curriculum teaches about the nature we find HERE. Plus, I weave in cultural connections, like how the tomatoes you grow can be used in pico de gallo and how banana leaves are used to wrap tamales.
-
Depends on the scope of your project and your timeline. We'll check in regularly — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly — whatever fits your schedule. Some projects take a few weeks, others a few months. We figure that out in our first conversation.
-
Por supuesto! I have samples from projects with Arizona State University, FitKids360, and custom field guides I've created. Once we chat about your specific needs, I can show you relevant examples.

For workshops: First through fifth grade is my specialty (ages 6-11ish), though nature journaling works great for adults too! For curriculum: I've created materials for K-12 and university level.
-
For workshops, I provide all supplies. Just come in clothes that can get a little dirty and make sure to have a water bottle with you! For nature walks, please wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothes. If you have a smartphone, downloading iNaturalist or Seek beforehand is helpful but not required.

¡Sí! As a bilingual educator, I naturally weave Spanish throughout all my workshops and curriculum. This bilingual environmental education approach makes these family-friendly nature classes even more meaningful for our diverse South Florida community. Whether you're a native Spanish speaker or learning, everyone's welcome.

I bring nature workshops to wherever you are in Miami-Dade County! I've worked all across Miami as far north as Miami Springs, as far east as Miami Beach, as far south as Homestead, and as far west as the Hammocks. If you have a space and a group, I'll come to you.
