The Garden's school programs introduce children to the wonders of nature through interactive learning experiences. We hope to encourage a lifelong interest in plant science and ecology by fostering an appreciation and understanding of the natural world.

Our popular school programs are designed to align with the California Common Core State Standards, California Environmental Education Initiative (EEI), and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
