Here at GBC we LOVE plants, and we are thrilled to share our passion with your students. Plants are so COOL and we plan to get your students just as excited about plants as we are. During this FT students will visit our Green House, Horticultural Building, hike through the woods and investigate the intersection of a forest and wetland habitat. Students will think about all challenges plants face when trying to meet their survival needs. The answers to those questions will lead directly to learning about many adaptations' plants have to survive and reproduce.  

Note: During this trip students will plant seeds that they can take home and care for.
