Planting positive seeds through skating

Jun 23, 2025

At Skate Farm, learning to skate is about more than tricks — it’s about growing in confidence, resilience, and community. That’s why we’ve introduced a fun new tradition: planting sunflower seeds to help our skaters see just how growth works.

Every time someone joins a session — whether it’s their first roll on a board, scooter, or blades — they get a chance to plant a sunflower seed. Why? Because we believe growth isn’t just something that happens in sport. It’s something you nurture.

Just like learning to skate, sunflowers need regular care, patience, and time. You don’t see progress overnight — but with consistency and love, you’ll be amazed at what blooms.

An adult helps a child plant seeds at the Skate Farm.

Every time a rider comes back to Skate Farm, they can water their sunflower and see how it’s growing — just like their skills.

This simple project is our way of helping kids (and adults!) understand that success doesn’t come instantly. It comes from showing up, having fun, and sticking with it — especially when things feel tough.

Whether you’re mastering a new trick, joining your first group session, or just learning how to roll — you’re planting seeds every time you skate.
