There will be FREE mini-workshops in life and environmental sciences, art, and Native American culture. Teachers will also get an orientation to the Gardens school tours and classroom outreach programs. Classes in Field Botany, Ecology, California Natural History and Art are designed for enrichment of teachers and the general public. The video is available to teachers on temporary loan, free of charge. California's Vanishing Flora is a curriculum guide designed to provide teachers with information and activities for teaching a unit on California's rare and endangered plants.
Copies are available to teachers.
This curriculum can be used alone or as a supplement to the video described above. If you find it necessary to cancel your reservation, please notify us as soon as possible so we can offer the tour to a group on our waiting list. Students must be accompanied by adults in a ratio of one adult to every ten children. It is very important that enough adults are present to accompany children on tours. This insures that our volunteer guides will be able to devote their full attention to providing an experience of quality for every participant.
