The garden is the classroom in The Science of the Garden for Homeschool Students, a series of science programs for homeschoolers beginning April 5 at Adkins Arboretum.
In this six-week hands-on program, homeschool students will join Youth Program Coordinator Jenny Houghton in using math to plan and plant a garden plot. They’ll also create a sundial, keep a garden journal, use microscopes to investigate soil composition and filtration, and dig into the science of botany, pollinators, plant lifecycles and vermicomposting (composting with worms).
Designed for students ages 8 to 12, The Science of the Garden for Homeschool Students will meet Tuesdays, April 5 to May 10, from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
Advance registration is required. The fee is $45 for members, $60 for non-members for all six classes in the series. A $10 discount is offered for siblings. For more information or to register, visit adkinsarboretum.org or call 410-634-2847, ext. 0.
