What if instead of complaining about the cold and looking at your kids blankly, you had a map with a plan to be outside all Winter long!?
THIS EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY ENDS IN...
"My big goal was to get more winter activities. I feel like I got more than that. I have been inspired to teach outdoors even if it is foggy, cold, and easier to be inside. I think my big takeaway is to go out and just enjoy what is there. This is what I learned among so many practical “good to knows." Thank you! "
~ TM from Budapest, Hungary

HELLO, I'M VICTORIA!
And I want to help you move your classroom outdoors, once and for all.
As an educator, my Teaching Garden story didn't start until I was a parent. While spearheading the transformation of an old desolate courtyard at my children's elementary school into a Children's Garden & Outdoor Classroom I discovered my entire philosophy of education had transformed.
I now inspire teachers and parents to cultivate learning gardens and nature-based curricula through my online offerings at Outdoor-Classrooms.com and my local Nature Classes in Secret Gardens in Beverly, MA.
One of my greatest joys is to witness the wonder of a child playfully learning outdoors and exploring nature.
