We offer field trips for local elementary school. We can make the field trip based on grade level standards. The field trips are taught by AP Environmental Science students. We rotate students through different stations in the garden.
Some of the stations we can teach are:
Soil permeability, texture and erosion control
Plant ID and plant anatomy
Composting (3 bin, worm)
Pollination and beneficial and harmful insects
Native plants
We are very flexible and can make hands-on lessons for any topic that you want. All stations are hands-on and students will get to take home activities that they did in the garden.
There is no cost for the field trip.
Field trips can last from 45 minutes to an hour depending on lessons you want.
