Learn about the natural world.

​​​The Botanical Gardens is a great place to explore and learn about the natural world. We welcome visits from school students of all ages. To help ensure your excursion is a successful one, please notify us of your visit ahead of time. We can let you know what will be happening on site and the amenities available, to ensure your plans go smoothly. We might also be able to meet your class on arrival for a Q & A session.

W
hen visiting the Botanical Gardens we ask that students help conserve the site and leave it the same way in which they found it so others can enjoy it too. More information can be found in our Guidelines for Schools.


For resources or for help planning your visit, email our Visitor Services Coordinator.
