May Homeschool Second Tuesday at the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden

Share

May 11^th  1:00pm to 3:00pm – “Botany 101 – Woodland Wildflowers”

Future botanists will be introduced to the different parts of plants including the flower parts. Younger students (K-2^nd grade) will learn the parts through sketching and word play. Older students (3^rd-6^th grade) will learn what key characteristics to look for when identifying wildflowers and how plants are grouped. Everyone will have a chance to look at flowers and other plant parts up close under microscopes and magnifiers.

Join our naturalists at the Garden every second Tuesday of the month for a nature themed lesson! Each month will offer a different topic geared toward students ages 6 to 12 (or grades Kindergarten to 6^th).

Each student is to bring his or her own notebook or field journal as each program will include sketching and note taking. All other materials are provided. Dress for the weather as every program will have an outdoor component and some may not be inside at all. Wear appropriate footwear for hiking woodchipped trails.

The fee for the program is $6.00 per student or $15.00 per student for the series.

All programs meet at the front gate of the Garden unless otherwise specified.
