The Story

Gili wants to make a salad but she has no vegetables, only a small bag full of seeds... She decides to plant them in the garden and meets new friends who are interested in seedlings, flowers and even vegetables. Together with the children, Gili discovers the process of creating life from the earth and the magic of the natural world.

What Makes It Special?

  • The show unfolds at a slow, pleasant pace, creating a comfortable and safe atmosphere
  • Transitions between scenes happen gently and gradually
  • Subtle integration of sensory stimuli (touch, sound, movement) throughout the show
  • At the beginning, children are invited to participate and explore the props and set together with the actress in a comfortable way

Our Approach

"Vegetable Garden" is specially adapted for children with neurological differences, creating a unique and safe theatrical experience.

The show was developed with professional consultation from Dr. Ariela Ilam, a rehabilitation neuropsychologist, to ensure a comfortable and pleasant experience for every child.
