At The New York Botanical Garden, we grow more than just plants—we grow programs, creativity, and people too. Through inquiry-based methods, children and teachers engage in experiences with plants and the natural world, which will help them to construct understandings of plants, their cultural uses, and their overall importance to life on Earth.
The School and Teacher Programs at the Garden offer:
- Hands-on interactive and engaging programming to enhance children’s understanding of ecology, plant science, and the world around them
- Outdoor workshops and tours to foster an appreciation of nature
- Adherence with New York City Science Standards, New York State Learning Standards, National Science Education Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards
- Affordable programs, including free access for schools to the Outdoor Self-Guided Nature Walks program and Garden grounds
