What are the important tools both scientists and students carry with them everywhere they go? Their senses of course! While traversing different areas of the garden, students participate in activities designed to enhance their sensory awareness. Using their eyes, noses, ears and fingers, they deepen their observational skills and experience different aspects of nature up close. This tour is easily adapted for different learning styles and needs.
