Welcome

My name is Melanie

I am a Waldorf teacher on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Seed & Scholaria is where I keep the stories, seasonal work and lesson guides I make for young children, and the study and inner work I do as the adult who teaches them.

Take what is useful, and come back when the season changes.
