Today on #InternationalDayofEducation, we're celebrating the power of learning! 🌱In the Garden, we create different learning environments, from adult courses to our Certificate in Botanical Horticulture, but today we're giving a special shout-out to our Schools Programme! (1/3)

In 2024, the Garden had over 7500 schoolchildren visit from over 250 different schools! A local teach from Wisbech said that visiting the Garden was ‘one of the best trips ever’. We love that so many students have been able to create hands-on learning experiences with us! (2/3)

📚Our Schools’ Team has also created a fantastic set of curriculum-linked resources for children from Early Years right through to Key Stage 4 – available to download for free, to use in school or on a self-led visit to the Garden (3/3) Find out more here: botanic.cam.ac.uk/learning/schoo…
