Our volunteer children's educators make nature come alive for our young visitors. We use a discovery approach to awaken children’s curiosity about the natural world, while developing a sense of responsibility for plants, animals, and habitats. From mid-April to mid-October our children's educators, staff our exploration stations on Wednesdays from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. and volunteer at special family events.
Our exploration stations are located throughout the garden and feature drop-in activities that foster a sense of appreciation of nature and delve into subjects such as plant parts, the life of a botanist, how plants get around, the growth of a tree, killer plants, and more!
