Do you wish kids would play outside more often?

Do your kids/grandkids spend too much time online and social media?

I’m Victoria Zelin-Cloud and I would love to show you how to engage kids in nature, learning skills and knowledge they typically don’t get at school.

Four years ago, my husband Jonathan and I turned our lawn into what we call “Elwell Eden.” We planted a “food forest,” as well as vegetable and pollinator gardens. People of all ages find it surprising, stimulating, beautiful and calming.

We invite you and your family members to join us on one of the following days/times. We’ll have some fun activities and share some of the lessons we learned and hope it inspires you and your family to create something special at your home, allowing kids to develop a relationship with nature that will sustain them for a lifetime.

Healthy snacks and drinks will be provided during a mid-session break.
