Educational Activities for Home

Please enjoy a botanical garden educational experience in your own backyard. Here are many of our activities that we have modified for you to do at home with your family.


Connect to Protect Activities

Our Connect to Protect activities are designed to teach about the world of native plants and their pollinators. These coloring book pages are filled with different ways to connect to the important pollination services happening right under our nose.


Garden Earth Explorers Activities

The State Botanical Garden of Georgia has weekly activities in the Alice H. Richards Children’s garden. Enjoy some of our favorites that have been adapted for your garden with your young explorers. This section also includes the Garden Earth Explorers Passport which tells some of Georgia’s most exciting natural history stories. It was developed for the children’s garden but all activities can be done at home. When the Gift Shop reopens come to get your passport stamped and a prize.


Field Trip Activities

While our Field Trip Activities are designed as the before and after manuals to enhance the experience of our school field trips, these activities are also stand alone lessons that can be done at home. Each manual is full of information and nature collecting materials.
