Outreach & Education

Educational Programs in Plant Science

We encourage public school teachers and homeschooling groups to take advantage of our facility for teaching purposes. In efforts to accommodate outreach opportunities, we offer free tours accompanied with lessons of various plant science topics. Tailored tours and lessons can also be created to meet individual class needs. Please contact our greenhouse coordinator to schedule a tour or lesson.
