Longwood Gardens educators come directly to pre-kindergarten classrooms to inspire 4- and 5-year-old budding horticulturists.
During the interactive program, our educators guide students to use their senses to explore a living plant, discover plant parts, and find out what it needs to grow. Students will sow seeds to nurture and observe growth right in their classroom.
