Homeschooler Days: The Evolution of Plants (2019)

January 8, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am

Join us from January-June for an interconnected series of lessons in our children’s garden! Kids will have the opportunity to see our garden through, from planning to planting to harvest.

We’ll dig deep to uncover the natural histories of the plants all around us, from simple early species like mosses and ferns to the complex flowering plants that have evolved countless forms and relationships with other living creatures.

Ages 5-13. $12 per student or free for Bartram’s Garden Members at the Family level and up. Become a Member online at bartramsgarden.org/join or join on program day. Reservations required.

We offer discounted rates for our Southwest Neighbors and ACCESS Cardholders. More info here.

For discounted reservations (or any other questions), contact Leslie Gale, or 215-729-5281 ext. 110.
