Magic in the Garden

PreK - Kindergarten

Key concepts explored during the program will include:

• People create gardens which can have many uses.

• Most plants begin as seeds. Seeds come in all shapes and sizes. ​

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Kindergarten - 3rd Grade

Let your students dig (literally!) into the science of gardens. From learning what makes good soil to trying our hands at plant propagation, your young gardeners will learn what all plants need to survive. Key concepts explored during this program will include:

• Plants' five basic needs (sun, water, food, CO2, space).

• Plants need the correct type and amount of nutrients but too much of any of them can cause other problems.

• Humans need plants in order to survive.

Tour Length: 1.5 hours
