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.

If you're an educator needing curriculum that brings your classroom to life while also aligning with Florida's NGSSS science standards, book a workshop with me! It's easy to bring into your lesson plans (and easy to get approved by your PTA or admin, if you need a hand with that paperwork, just ask).

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.

Turning badge requirements into hands-on experiencias your troops won't forget

Youth organizations know something powerful: kids remember what they do, not just what they're told. That's where I come in.

I partner with scouting troops and youth organizations across Miami to bring science-based, nature-rooted programming directly to your groups! There is no need to invent a new curriculum every season or figure out logistics on your own. I handle the planning, the materials, and the magia of getting kids outside; you get programming your troop leaders will actually look forward to.

Whether it's a single workshop or a recurring seasonal series, we build something flexible enough to fit whatever your students are working toward that season that’s always rooted in South Florida's ecosystem and culture, always bilingual, always hands-on.

What a partnership looks like:

• Connection first — We talk through which badges or program goals you're working toward this season, and how many troops or groups are involved.

• Flexible programming — Sessions are built around your specific badge requirements, not a one-size-fits-all lesson plan.

• A record of the magia — After each session, you'll get a simple recap with photos, attendance numbers, and completion details — everything you need to show your own leadership the impact of the program, without any extra work on your end.

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. I've grown curriculum for institutions like Arizona State University and FitKids360! Reach out and I'm happy to walk you through examples relevant to your project.
