Designed and taught by Desert Botanical Garden educators, we offer innovative field trips for grades K to 8. Our programs blend the
Garden’s unique resources with a hands-on, inquiry-based learning experience--and a dose of fun--to get students excited about nature.
Garden field trips are specifically designed to complement your school district’s educational objectives, and correlate with Arizona Academic Standards.
