The Young Gardener’s Workshop – Fall Edition (Aug - Sept)

A Captivating Field Trip Experience Incorporating Hands-On Learning in Nature’s Classroom

This field trip for young gardeners of all ages offers a unique opportunity for budding minds to explore the natural world through education experiences at the Flori Kulture Gardens. It is available for groups of up to 15 people, and ideal for small classes or as a homeschool field trip. .

Students become young scientists by observing, exploring, inquiring, gathering data, problem-solving and using age-appropriate tools to investigate the natural world. Our goal is to stimulate a desire in all students to explore and increase their knowledge, and understanding of the natural world around them, while building foundational science, art and critical thinking skills.

During this 1.5 hour experience, children participate in the following activities:

Find the Herbs! – A Scavenger Hunt

• Develop sensory, observational and critical thinking skills through a herb identification scavenger hunt involving tips and clues based on the structural, sensory and utilitarian elements of herbs.

What are the Parts of a Flower?

• A botanical adventure involving a deep dive into the amazingly intricate structure of flowers.

• This workshop is intended to incite wonder and excitement by encouraging children to observe and label plant parts using descriptive words that communicate their color, shape, and reference to other objects, while also introducing them to the scientific aspects of floral anatomy.

• Students will pick and dissect a flower, observe its 5 main parts and label them with descriptive and technical names.

A Foray into Floral Art

• In this segment of the workshop, we encourage artistic expression through the medium of flowers.
  Students pick their own flowers and use them to create a piece of art in the form of a floral arrangement or wearable floral art (flower crown, necklace, bracelet, etc.)

Ticket price is $15 per participant ages 3 and up. Ticket price includes the event, activities, learning materials and flowers to take home.
