Naples Botanical Garden
With the Smith Children’s Garden Experience, students will explore southwest Florida habitats, learn about gardening, and enjoy a guided butterfly program. An abbreviated version, beginning with story time followed by guided exploration, is available for early education students. In the Brazil Garden Experience, students will learn about the unusual plants of Brazil and participate in a fun, educational expressive art project. The Caribbean and Asian Garden Experience will have students put on their thinking caps to imagine what it’s like to live on an island and learn how they can use plants around them to survive. School groups include 10 or more students from public or private schools and homeschool students. Other programs include butterfly science and a self-guided tour using a map of the gardens.

Botanical Garden Lesson Plan
FUN FACTS
The diverse world of plants is perhaps the weirdest, and most fascinating, of all living things. Bamboo can grow over three feet in one day (you can literally watch it grow). There are 600 species of carnivorous plants, which trap and digest insects, frogs, or small birds (if a vegetarian eats this plant, are they still a vegetarian?). The world’s largest flower, Rafflesia, can grow up to three feet in diameter (how big would a bouquet be…). Do a little digging on your next trip to a botanical garden (not literally!), and see what interesting plant facts you can find.
