Teacher
Programs at the Garden
Teacher workshops are designed to train teachers
in various areas of environmental educationand to provide them the resources and support to teach environmental education in their own schoolrooms and school sites. All
workshops are designed to meet Georgia Performance Standards and most provide PLU credits. Most are funded in part by grants which help keep registration fees very affordable.
Sample workshops include:

 |
 |
Garden Earth Naturalists. Teachers learn activities suitable for teaching about the natural environment and the ecosystem "departments"
which provide an abundance of free "services" to mankind.
 |

 |
 |
Our Shared Forest. This new workshop is currently being planned and will
focus on Neotropical migratory birds that share the forests of both Georgia and Ecuador where our co-partner for the project, the Maquipucuna Reserve, is
located.
 |

 |
 |
Endangered Plant Stewardship Network. In this workshop, teachers
learn to propagate and grow plants suitable for their school sites. Upon completion of the workshop, teachers can obtain a permit allowing them to grow
rare and endangered species including pitcher plants which children find so fascinating.

The Ethnobotanic Garden for Georgia Schools Ethnobotanic plants provide
rich multicultural learning resources. In this workshop, educators develop a design for a school ethnobotanic garden and learn to propagate species for
their school site. While ethnobotanic gardens engage students in appreciating cultural diversity and ethnic traditions, they also instill a curiosity
and appreciation for the need to preserve a diversity of plant life.
