For any teacher who is planning a field trip to Missouri's Botanical Garden, this lesson packet is a must-have! In it, young learners engage in pre-visit activities so they will be prepared to get the most out of their trip. There are lots of suggested activities for the visit itself, and some beautiful ideas of post-visit activities when back in the classroom. With a little effort, you could adapt it to other botanical gardens. A very impressive lesson!
