Buzz & Blossom: Color Hunt + Finger Painting

With artists/educators Darrian Nosworthy and Areli Castillo, we will go on a guided “color and critter hunt” around the farm, exploring the vibrant colors of flowers and searching for pollinators like bees and butterflies. We’ll talk about how these insects are drawn to specific colors and shapes. After the walk, kids will use their fingers and nature-inspired palettes to create expressive flower and bug-themed paintings, celebrating what they saw on the farm. Intended for kids aged 4-9, it will be low-pressure, sensory, and joyfully messy!

Craft & Create: Garden Stories & Handmade Flowers

In this two-part workshop with artists/educators Darrian Nosworthy and Areli Castillo, children will first paint garden story stones, using smooth rocks and colorful paints to create symbols of things they see on the farm (e.g., a tomato, a bee, a cloud). These stones will be used in a group storytelling circle to inspire imagination and sequencing. In the second activity, children will observe real flowers growing around the farm, then use wooden sticks and tissue paper to craft their own paper blossoms. They’ll arrange these into a bouquet to take home — a keepsake inspired by the day’s discoveries. This workshop is for kids aged 4-9.

Guide & Grow: Nature Scrapbooks & Botanical Collage

With artists/educators Darrian Nosworthy and Areli Castillo, students will take a slow, observational walk through the farm to collect small natural objects, sketch plants, and take inspiration from what they see. They’ll then create a mixed-media collage using found objects, pressed flowers, and hand-drawn botanical illustrations. Each student will build a personal nature scrapbook page that blends art and observation, rooted in the ecology of Edgemere Farm. This workshop is for ages 10-15.
