How: The Sense-able Garden

Our adventures in edible education.

The Warthog School's Sense-able Garden

We’ve found some of the most magical moments happen spontaneously in the garden.  Its when hands are busy shelling peas that a profound personal truth seems to pop out too.  The garden reflects our different states from fallow or fertile.  It recovers our natural spontaneity and surprises us with its sports.   It is the ultimate experience in usefulness.  The garden makes sense even when our lives don’t.  And, if we allow it, through color, texture, smell, and taste it will make us a sense-able species again. 

Our Sense-able garden, along with our local farmer’s market, supports the meals our children help prepare, serve, and enjoy in our Loose Leaf Kitchen.  In doing so, it nourishes our children’s growing bodies as well as their souls.    

To name just a few of the invaluable eco-literacy lessons and magical practices we sow:

Understanding how nature sustains life

Empathy for all forms of life

Making the invisible visible

Embracing sustainability as a community practice

Anticipating unintended consequences

And so much more!
