Exciting New Nature-Based, Garden focused Child Care Coming to Yellow Point 2027! 🌱

Hi, my name is Goldenrose. Im a mom of two and have been farming for over a decade. I’m exploring opening a licensed, home-based child care with a big focus on gardening, growing food and outdoor learning for kids ages 2.5 to 5 years old.

The program will run Tues, Wed, Thurs 8:30 am till 1:30 pm.

Im curious what kind of interest this has as it changes what type of license I apply for.

If you have little ones or know families who might be interested in a program thats fun, hands on and connected to nature, and growing food your input is greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions about the program feel free to message me. 😁

Thank you 💚

Ok hive mind 🐝 🙏
I need help. My seeding greenhouse is under rodent attack… hundreds of dollars worth of seedlings are being dug up and eaten 😓😭😭
As a small business and mom of two this feels SO devastating, on so many levels!
I have a 14x30 wood frame, plastic greenhouse.
I start trapping in January well before I start to seed. I always catch mice and rats 🐀.
It’s not obvious where they are getting in..
I have LOTS of traps set, bright lights on, a strobe light and the radio playing. This isn’t enough.
I’ve resorted to covering each flat with another flat and that helps but every morning first thing and at night I cover and uncover the seedlings. It feels like so much extra work….as there is lots of babies to try keep safe. Last night they came back!! I lost 50 4 inch pots of peppers (all I had left as they ate my other 70 😭) and flats of brassicas!!
I feel so sad and defeated by this experience. I’m putting one foot in front the other, but I cant run a nursery business like this.
What do other growers do? 💚
Does anyone have any solutions? 💚 ideas ? 💚
I mean I guess getting cats 🐈‍⬛?
Thanks SO much!
