For Teachers
For teachers in the 3rd through 6th grades
Edgerton Park Conservancy offers an introductory
science and environmental tour of the Conservatory of
Tropical Plants in the greenhouses in Edgerton Park.
This includes rainforest plants, desert plants and a
collection of tropical plants that provide food and
products we use. We discuss the structure and needs of
plants with the children. Each child has a hands-on
experience learning to pot a plant and then take it
home to practice horticulture. We provide a rainforest
activities booklet to each teacher as a follow-up to
reinforce what the children have learned in their
visit to the conservatory.
There is no charge for this program.
Please ask for a date from Margaret DeVane at
203-624-8941. Then request a bus immediately. When
confirmed let Margaret know so docents are scheduled
for your day.
Tours last from 10 A.M. to 11:15 or
11:30 depending on your schedule.
Edgerton Greenhouses are located just off Whitney
Avenue at 75 Cliff Street at the Hamden - New Haven
line. |
