Programs
Composting Program
Our composting program teaches students the principles of recycling, using worms as the “world’s greatest recycler.” Each composting session is taught by a Master Composter. Worms are a fun way for kids to learn about recycling and become more aware of the environment.
Art Program
Students will create a special “hands-on” art project to take home.
Music Program
Students will enjoy singing songs like “Dirt Made my Lunch” and “Bees Have Power” that both teach and entertain.
Sweat Pea Maze
Find the solution to this one-of-a-kind living maze of fragrant and colorful “old fashioned” sweet pea blossoms!

The Flower Fields is committed to providing children with quality education and we are pleased to introduce the following educational activity sheets. Feel free to download and print any of the sheets in the categories below for students.
In addition, care instructions for the ranunculus or sunflower can be printed and given to students to assist them with growing their own plant.
