Nice to meet you, I'm Chaya

I believe that a child who grows a plant grows too.

I hold a degree in special education and am currently studying for a master's in agricultural therapy. I've also studied permaculture — growing in harmony with nature, without waste and without spraying.

In my classes I bring these together: real work in the soil, understanding what happens in nature, and a connection to Torah and faith. I see every child — the one who needs to move, the one who needs quiet, and the one who simply loves watching things grow.

What the children gain

Joy and freedom outdoors

An hour a week of fresh air, soil and movement. A place to let go, smile and get dirty — no screens, no pressure.

Knowledge, nature and faith

Understanding how nature works — from seed to fruit — together with Jewish knowledge, blessings and faith.

Life skills and teamwork

Planning, sharing roles, helping each other and learning to get along in a group.

Patience, sensitivity and resilience

Plants don't hurry. In the garden we practise patience, sensitivity, acceptance and coping — when a seed fails, and when it thrives.
