Learning Comes to Life in the Gardens

Clark Gardens offers opportunities to learn through exploration, observation, and hands-on experiences in the natural world. From school field trips and special educational programs to permanent learning features throughout the gardens, visitors of all ages can discover more about plants, pollinators, wildlife, conservation, and the world growing around them.

Bring Learning Into the Garden

Give your students the opportunity to learn beyond the classroom. School groups can explore Clark Gardens while making real-world connections to plants, wildlife, ecosystems, and the natural world around them.

Visits can be tailored to the age and interests of your group, creating opportunities for observation, discovery, and hands-on learning in a living garden environment.
