Sacred Saplings is an immersive, nature-based education series designed especially for homeschooling families, co-ops, and the general science lovers seeking meaningful, hands-on learning experiences. Classes are offered on a consistent schedule twice per month at two locations (Athens and Madison), providing reliable opportunities for ongoing enrichment, while also allowing flexibility to expand topics and themes based on group interest and demand.
Each class blends environmental science, herbal studies, and mental health education into engaging, age-appropriate lessons that nurture both curiosity and emotional intelligence. Students explore how plants grow, how ecosystems function, and how nature supports human wellness physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Sacred Saplings emphasizes experiential learning, giving children the chance to touch, create, observe, and experiment through activities such as nature crafts, plant exploration, simple science demonstrations, and mindfulness practices. These classes support homeschool curricula by reinforcing biology, earth science, health, and social-emotional learning in a way that feels playful, grounded, and memorable.
With a rotating selection of topics available throughout the year, Sacred Saplings offers families the freedom to participate regularly or choose individual classes that align with their educational goals and seasonal interests.
Each monthly class will be held at Driftwood Dragonfly in Athens, AL and at The Rustic Awning Boutique in Harvest, AL. If you'd like to RSVP for this month's class, please fill out this short form!

RSVPs are required to ensure we have enough supplies for everyone. Please submit an RSVP (even a $0 donation) for each child participating. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!
