Homeschool Day Programs

Program Overview

Homeschool Days offer families the opportunity to explore plant-based themes through a variety of hands-on explorations and take-home projects that children and their grown-ups complete together. These self-guided and self-paced programs are set up with several activity stations throughout the Gardens for families to explore the days topic.  

Important information regarding program logistics will be communicated to you by email closer to the date of the program. Please watch for an email from familyprograms@botanicgardens.org in your inbox. If you don’t see an email in your inbox, please check your junk or spam folders.

 

Tips and Reminders to Help You and Your Child Get the Most Out of the Program

  • Homeschool Day programs encourage families to explore the natural world together. At the start of the program, participants receive a journal with information to help guide their exploration and provide a space to make observations.
  • Staff and volunteers are present at each station to help distribute materials and get you started in your exploration. Adults and children are encouraged to work together to learn from each other while reading activity directions and exploring the content at each station.  
  • Please come prepared to spend time indoors and outdoors. We recommend dressing in layers, wearing appropriate footwear and bringing a water bottle, hat and sunscreen with you.
  • We ask that you limit personal phone use during the program. You are welcome to take pictures of your child with your phone as they explore and discover.
