Secondary school visits at the Garden
Subject-specific programmes to enhance the curriculum for Key Stage 3, 4, 5 and further education groups.
Oxford Botanic Garden is a world-class university botanic garden with outstanding collections from around the globe. Our sessions are not classroom-based and include a variety of hands-on activities. All sessions are designed to support the curriculum whilst promoting a love of the natural environment, to support and encourage future generations of botanists and conservationists.
About school visits
