Nature Play

Coastal Roots Farm’s Nature Play program invites children to explore and connect with the natural world in a playful and enriching environment.

Designed to inspire curiosity and creativity, this initiative encourages kids to engage in hands-on activities like planting seeds, building with natural materials, and discovering the diverse flora and fauna of the farm.

Through guided exploration, children develop a deeper appreciation for nature while honing their teamwork and problem-solving skills. The program not only fosters a sense of wonder but also instills important values of sustainability and environmental stewardship, making it a memorable experience that nurtures both the mind and spirit.

I’ve taken my daughter here a couple times and she LOVES it.  They have so many different stations and there is singing and dancing, story time, farming.  It’s wonderful.
