A Forest Garden School The Treehouse:
a Forest Garden School is a nonprofit Waldorf-inspired program for children 6 weeks – 6 years, established in 2010.
After a recent move and expansion from an in-home school, we are now stewarding a 1/4 acre just outside of Portland, Oregon where we are developing a food forest, permaculture learning garden, and offer a holistic education for children to truly thrive!
