This fall, bring your school group (of any age!) on a self-guided visit to the Discovery Garden. Our volunteer Discovery Docents will lead hands-on activity stations throughout this area of the Garden. Be sure to explore our meadow, woodland, and marsh habitats, too! This is a free, self-guided program for school groups of all ages. For each time slot, there is a maximum class size of 30 students. We request a minimum ratio of 1 adult per 10 students, and we will split classes up into smaller groups upon arrival. School groups must register in advance for Discovery Garden access at these times. All programs are outdoors and will be canceled in inclement weather, which includes rain and temperatures below 50 degrees. Check this page and your inbox for updates. Questions?
