A Fun & Educational Field Trip Experience "Mounts Botanical Garden is announcing an exciting new K-12 educational program now that it has been selected by the School District of Palm Beach County as an official field trip location for all 3rd grade students," says Mounts Interim Co-Director Misty Stoller. "Let's All Go to the Garden!, a fun and educational field trip experience, will serve approximately 15,000 students, 200+ teachers, and 1,500+ chaperones during the 2024-2025 school year." During these field trips, various Discovery Stations around the Garden will provide "Aha!" and "I didn't know that!" moments for the touring students, such as:
Additional Discovery Station ideas include renewable resources such as solar, wind, and wave power; identifying different types of rocks and learning how they were formed; the Everglades, aquifers, and limestone; growing food in space; and more. Community Support is Critical "Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, no funding for this program is being provided by the school district for this field trip initiative—so financial support from the community is critical," pleads Mounts Development Officer Tish Sheesley. "We need to raise $150,000 to offer this memorable experience for local third graders and provide safe and approved transportation to and from Mounts Botanical Garden. In addition to providing safe and approved transportation, while here, students will have the opportunity to be outdoors in a living museum, be captivated by how many different types of plants we have and will work together to figure out some of the educational riddles that we have in store for them."
