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.

Good Bugs and Bad Bugs

Learn how to tell the beneficial insects from the bad bugs, and how they help or hurt your garden and yard.

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.
