Welcome to a new school year. Here at The New York Botanical Garden, our
dedicated staff continues to be hard at work developing and delivering programs
that bring the world of plants to you and your students in innovative and
engaging ways.
This year, in response to your feedback, we have made some exciting changes,
including new programs and curricula. We have also reformatted some of our
existing programs to provide a better instructor-to-student ratio and to enhance
our workshops.
There are new opportunities for you to work with the Botanical Garden to
create individualized plant-science programs. Our staff will collaborate with you
to build a hands-on workshop that is customized to meet your class needs.
In the Professional Development Program for Teachers, we are offering a new
series of workshops focusing on Earth Science and Evolution concepts. These
will take place on Saturdays in May.
Finally, look for our new middle school curriculum, FBI (Forensic Botany
Investigations), and high school curriculum, Ethnobotany Explorers, available
from our publishing partners at
Glencoe.
Remember, there’s no better place than The New York Botanical Garden to
learn about plants and their importance to all life on Earth. Please join us for
an exciting year full of fun and relevant plant-science learning.
We look forward to seeing you at the Garden!
