School Tours/Children’s Educational Programs

Heathcote’s Children’s Garden, under the guidance of Nannette Billings meets Thursdays

from 4:15 to 5pm. 

Heathcote offers guided tours with programs for school groups of all ages and grade levels. Our tours introduce children to botanical gardens and the wonderful world of plants. For teen-aged school groups, a trip to the garden can not only introduce them to the science of botany and horticulture, but also the many different career fields associated

with this type of educational facility or an area of interest for them to pursue. The level of interpretation is adapted to the specific age level.

Please call the Garden’s office at 772-464-4672 and speak to Shari Buck to arrange school tours/programs or email info@heathcotebotancialgardens.org
