We stress observation in this area. Unit 2 is for second and third grade students and addresses crop plants, plant parts and herbaceous plants. It stresses student skills of observation and inference. The Educational Program is available by reservation only and is taught Monday through Friday during the school year from 10 a.m. until 12 noon. The cost for the program is per person attending.
Many groups bring a bag lunch and picnic in the pavillion.
The Roots and Shoots Educational Program began in the fall of 1995 at the Bamboo Farm in Savannah, Georgia. Two Georgia Extension Service faculty created and organized the program. Together they developed Roots and Shoots as an educational resource for Chatham County and surrounding communities.
