Delve into scientific phenomena observable in our Gardens and examine how living organisms—including humans—impact and are impacted by their environment. Tour behind the scenes, talk with our horticulture and ecology experts, and participate in hands-on, minds-on activities that can be taken back to your classroom to engage your students in three-dimensional learning with a focus on Environmental Literacy & Sustainability and Life Sciences standards.
