Santa Cruz - Summer 2025
We’re hosting a handful of small, nature-hearted gatherings for families, friends, and creative kin — from backyard learning adventures to sweet farm-based Sundays. All are lightly guided, community-centered, and designed to leave plenty of space for joy, rest, and connection.
Wildcrafted Farm Days
Natural Bridges Farm
The Homeless Garden Project
2nd Sundays
11am to 3pm
June, July, & August, 2025
A slow, sweet Sunday gathering held on the farm —
Just shared time, creative space, and playful, meaningful invitations to breathe a little deeper, enjoy the gifts of community, and be with the land.
Kids are welcomed into small-world storytelling, nature art, and hands-on garden fun. Grownups and teens can relax, connect, get creative, or join in the play. Bring a picnic, or contribute to the community potluck.
Everyone is invited to love up the farm—wander the U-pick rows for beautiful strawberries, veggies, and flowers to take home, browse farm-made goodies at the stand, or lend a hand in the garden.
Come vibe with us on one of the most inspiring working farms in Santa Cruz County. Stay as long as you like. Grow your rhythm in good company.
Wildcrafted Farm Days are gently guided, donation-based gatherings
intended to support mutual thriving for people and place.

Circles of Friends
Custom Learning Play for Small Groups
Collaboratively shaped creative adventures for families and friend groups who want to gather kids for joyful, nature-connected experiences — hosted at home or in the community. Adaptable for all ages, even toddlers and teens.
Circles can be drop-off or parent-inclusive, and are perfect for homeschoolers, cousins, neighbor friends, or community groups. Each session is lightly guided and uniquely crafted for your group’s rhythm and interests.
We welcome tweens and teens into this experience. Whether they prefer to help guide younger kids, dive into their own creative project, or co-create a Circle just for their age group — we’re happy to support it.
Interested in hosting or joining a Circle? Use the interest form below to share your ideas and availability and we'll let you now what's coming together. Whether you’re an individual family looking to join in, or already have four or more kids ready to go, we can help it happen.
Circles are facilitated by members of our freelance educators collective. If you are a skilled guide with a great idea for a Circle, we’d love to hear from you. Please use the form to share about your offering and express interest in facilitation (fill fields that feel relevant, include ages that you work with). We’ll follow up with details about joining the Circles leadership crew.
Accessibility and Belonging
You are welcome here.
We do our best to make every Green Seed offering feel spacious, welcoming, and adaptable — for bodies, brains, families, and individual ways of being. While many of our events are hosted in outdoor or unconventional spaces, we take accessibility seriously and are always happy to collaborate on creative solutions. Every registration form includes a space to share any needs or requests — sensory, mobility, communication, or otherwise. If you're unsure whether a particular event or location will work for you, reach out anytime.
Tiny Seeds of Repair
Green Seed Arts is rooted in Santa Cruz, California. Everything we offer here is free to Indigenous members of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, in recognition of their enduring relationship to this land and the ongoing impacts of colonization. We honor their care and resilience, and invite others to learn more about their continued legacy. www.amahmutsunlandtrust.org
We are you. Come on in.
We believe beauty, belonging, and learning are meant to be shared — and that money in the bank does not reflect a person’s worth or value to community. When checking out, you will usually notice an option to contribute in other forms of energy. We can always come up with an exchange that feels good to everyone. Registration is also often sliding scale, with higher contributions helping fund broader inclusion. Whether you’re seeking support or moved to extend it to others, your presence matters.
What We Are Tending
As Green Seed Arts continues to grow, we’re shaping a collection of tools, gatherings, and shared resources that nourish an ecology of thriving — both locally and beyond.
From collaborative curriculum and courses, to retreats, networking opportunities, and systems of reciprocal support, these offerings are part of a living framework designed to seed deeper culture — one that nourishes imagination, honors relationship, and invites us into thoughtful participation.
Some are ready now. Others are still germinating. All are being crafted with care.
Want to stay in the loop as it unfolds?

Meet the Founder
Green Seed Arts is held by Sage Lampros, creative director and vision steward.
An artist and educator with a long-established inner compass for regenerative change, Sage brings roots woven through permaculture, expressive arts, social ecology, therapeutic horticulture, and new paradigm thought.
More than anything, this work is born of a deep love for the Earth and a belief that human thriving must be re-woven into the fabric of living systems.
