Bring your class out for a fun day at the Florida Botanical Garden, and enjoy quality, curriculum-based tours led by experts from Pinellas County Extension. A minimum of 10 and maximum of 30 students can be accommodated for each class. Programs generally last 1-1 ½ hours. Prior to the tour you will receive several educational activities (aligned with Florida Sunshine State Standards) to prepare you for your tour.

Each of the programs listed below are conducted as an interactive tour of different areas of the Florida Botanical Gardens. Students are introduced to the complex subject of sustainability by seeing, hearing, smelling, touching and even tasting! If desired, a “make-and-take” activity can be scheduled as well—helping to underscore themes learned during your visit.
