Education Activities

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.

Sweet Pea Maze

Find the solution to this one-of-a-kind living maze of fragrant and colorful “old fashioned” sweet pea blossoms!

Tractor Wagon Ride

Kids can enjoy an open-air tractor pulled wagon ride through The Flower Fields.

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.
