Let kids learn about growing their own food virtually at the Virtual Family Food Lab at Vizcaya.

A  continuation of their popular onsite family programs at Vizcaya Village before the pandemic, it’s five weeks of lessons and activities all centered around growing your own food – what you can eat, how to harvest and prepare foods you’ve grown, planning your own garden for fall – for kids and  adults to do together. The lessons are a mix of pre-recorded videos and live, virtual discussions anchored in Vizcaya’s agricultural histor and applicable to life today in our own kitchens and gardens.

Here’s the rundown:

July 12 – Parent’s Preview | Virtual Food Lab for Kids

July 19 – Is this food?

July 26 – What’s on Deering’s plate?

August 2 – Kitchen Lab!

August 9 – Starting a Home Garden

August 16 – It’s alive! ALIVE!!!!

Lessons are delivered as YouTube videos, both LIVE and pre-recorded, and sent right to your inbox each week. This program is best for children ages 6-12 and is designed for parents and children to learn together.

The classes are free. Register here.
