Student Field Trips

Your students are sure to have a wonderful time investigating a rich variety of plants and nature in our field trips. Bring your class to the Garden for an experience you lead or for a workshop taught by our staff. Or, choose a virtual experience from your own classroom. All workshops are phenomenon-based and correlated with the Next Generation Science Standards.     

Scholarship funding to cover the cost of the workshop is available on a first-come, first-served basis for qualifying schools. Visit the Chicago Botanic Garden scholarship application to learn more and apply.
