Home School Days

Enjoy a day of learning at Longwood Gardens!  Home school students or learning co-ops have a unique opportunity to engage with other students their age. Curriculum lessons are designed to meet National Education Standards for grades K-8, while incorporating garden-based hands on activities to excite students.   

Operation Pollination: January 27, 2010 (snow date February 1, 2010)

Students discover the connection of living systems as they investigate why flowering plants have co-evolved with their pollinator partners for millions of years. By identifying adaptations of plants and pollinators students will gain an appreciation of this delicate relationship.

CaptureIt: February 24, 2010 (snow date March 2, 2010)

Students will embark on an artistic garden voyage that explores the enticing world of garden-inspired art. The study and interpretation of Impressionist artist Claude Monet will serve as inspiration for students to create their own garden-inspired work using developmentally appropriate media and techniques.
