Chiquillos it’s time para sembrar (to plant) maíz!

In this bilingual workshop, children will plant their own corn native to Oaxaca. In the spirit of Indigenous practices from La Mixteca Region in Oaxaca, they will sing a fun song, listen to a story, and learn about the earth elements needed to grow corn. They‘ll plant seeds to take home where they can watch the maiz grow.

Content for this workshop is geared toward 5-9 years old but all families with children under 12 are welcome to join. Free for all participants. Registration is required and will be limited to 20 children.  Please register at
