Bring the Botanic Gardens into your classroom! 

Explore and discover new ways to connect your students with the Botanic Gardens, whether you're visiting us or learning from the classroom. 

These digital resources can be used to prepare students before an excursion, extend learning after a visit to the Botanic Gardens, or as a stand-alone classroom program. 

Designed to support curiosity, excitement and deeper understanding of the natural world, these curriculum-aligned resources help students connect with plants, biodiversity and the environment in meaningful ways. Included are direct links between activities and learning outcomes across a range of subject areas and cross curricular priorities.  

Created in collaboration between our education, science and horticulture teams, these ready-to-use resources make planning easier for teachers. Everything you need is in one place, including PowerPoints, teacher notes, printable or downloadable worksheets, videos, quizzes, scaffolding strategies and extension activities.

Suitable for a range of year levels and learning areas, the flexible resources support both classroom and excursion-based learning while helping students build knowledge, skills and a lasting appreciation for the natural world.
