1 BE PREPARED TO BE INSPIRED, EDUCATED, AND CHALLENGED The Friends of Boerner Botanical Gardens offers programming in our outdoor garden classrooms or at your school We welcome all area schools, community centers, youth groups, and day care centers The objective of our school and community programming is to enhance science education by providing interactive, hands-on science experiences 1
2 FRIENDS OF BOERNER BOTANICAL GARDENS (FBBG) YOUR PARTNER FOR PLANT SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL LEARNING Dear Teachers, We are excited to be a partner in your efforts to bring science learning to life for your students. The Gardens offer engaging, hands-on experiences presented by skillful and dedicated educators. What is Boerner Field Experience like? FBBG field experiences utilize the unique learning environment, expertise, and teaching tools the Gardens have to offer. Set in the Education and Visitor Center classrooms and the Gardens, students are immersed in the world of plants. Teachers who come with their classes every year tell us that the field experience brings classroom science units to life for their students, offering a memorable learning experience that can be referred to all year. Highly organized and packed with activity, these field experiences promise a rich one-of-a-kind, out-ofclassroom learning experience that enriches the classroom curriculum and addresses science standards in every season. What time of year is the best time for a Garden Field Experience? There are obvious merits to the Spring, Summer and Fall seasons because the Gardens are so compelling. We encourage you to consider a winter field experience at the Gardens. When plants are dormant outside, the Education and Visitor Center offers one-of-a-kind plant learning indoors & outdoors as weather permits From an in-depth study of plant parts to a class on soil and vermiculture, students will have a field experience that illustrates science concepts with hands-on real plants experiences. Can t afford the time and expense of a field trip to Boerner? Our Educators will bring a variety of plant science programs to your school with the plants, props, and nature driven learning materials that guarantee a deeply engaging plant lesson in your classroom. Please call us at We look forward to helping you find the perfect plant science experience for you and your students. Sincerely, Friends of Boerner Botanical Gardens Education Department P.S.
