Education

The Garden offers opportunities for learners of all ages to discover and delight in the world of plants

Our educational programs seek to engage the community - children, families, and adults alike. This is your garden - for classes, for quiet relaxation, for learning new gardening skills, for celebrated programming like Flower Piano or simply to enjoy nature's beauty. Any time in the garden can be a time for learning and reflection.

Youth Education

With a strong focus on San Francisco's communities, our youth education programs reach almost every elementary school in the San Francisco Unified School District. Learn more about the many offerings for pre-school and school-aged children, summer groups and ways to learn more and get involved.
