Each field trip to the garden will include lessons on the history of the garden and the plants, animals and natural processes that make the unique and beautiful garden that you get to explore! Lessons are tailored around the time of year you attend, and the topics can include: pollinators/pollination, winter blooming flowers, herbs, vegetables, bee keeping, native plants, trees, bird migration, carnivorous plants and MORE!
