Guided Tours

Sensory Walk
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 Botanical 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 one hour tour is easily adapted for different learning styles and needs.

Wooded Walk
What makes a tree a tree? What are the parts of a tree? What kinds of creatures call trees their home?
