Gift your students an unforgettable outdoor learning experience
amidst the festival of Allah's signs on the farm!
Field Trips at The Rose Garden
To step onto the land at The Rose Garden is to step into a living story, one where the animals, garden, and farm themselves become teachers. Our field trips invite children to leave behind the classroom walls and enter the wide embrace of our regenerative urban farm, where every sprouting seed, grazing goat, and flowing drop of water reveals how deeply all life is connected.
Here, learning comes alive: children experience food in its purest form, planting seeds, touching the soil, collecting eggs, and tasting fruits ripened in the sun. They witness firsthand how sustainable farming nurtures the earth while nourishing both body and soul.
But more than a visit, this is an awakening: to see creation as a web of ayat, signs of Allah, woven into the natural world, to glimpse the beauty of Prophetic stewardship, and to carry home lessons of gratitude, wonder, and responsibility for the earth and all of creation.
Why The Rose Garden?
The Rose Garden is a 3-acre regenerative urban farm nestled in the Hayward Hills, with sweeping views of the Bay mashaAllah. Our friendly grazing animals, sprouting garden, and outdoor learning spaces create a living classroom where children and families can connect with the land.
Rooted in falling in love with Allah, The Rose Garden is dedicated to inspiring hearts to rediscover their fitrah, that innate sense of wonder and devotion that naturally draws us toward Him.
Through hands-on educational experiences, children and families witness how soil, plants, and animals work together in harmony. As they feed the animals, harvest from the garden, and nurture life, they learn that every act of care is an act of worship and stewardship.
Every visit is more than just a day outdoors. It is an invitation to remember, to give thanks, and to fall in love with the Creator through His signs, nurturing both heart and mind through the beauty of His creation.
Field Trip Rhythm
During the field trip, we will begin with a welcome circle before setting out on a hands-on journey to experience some beautiful aspects of farm life. Children explore the farm with their senses, discover where food comes from, and learn how living things work together in harmony. We end with a closing circle of reflections & gratitude as the children enjoy their packed lunch boxes.
