What's included....
Production
Greenhouse Talk
View one of our growing areas to investigate the basic needs of plants. Our staff will discuss how different varieties of plants have adapted to grow in their natural habitats which can often affect their physical characteristics and growth habits. Hear a brief explanation about how a greenhouse structure provides an ideal habitat for plants that would otherwise be impacted throughout the changing seasons in Southwestern Ontario.
Approx. 5-10 minutes
Clay Pot Painting &
Plant Transplanting
In this activity, students will use acrylic paint to create a dot art design on a small clay pot. They will then visit our garden center to pick out their very own 2.5” tropical, sansevieria, or succulent plant.
Our staff will teach students how to properly transplant their selection into their painted pot and top off the small arrangement with coloured gravel. Finally, students will receive care tips to set them up for success with their little plant at home.
Approx. 30-45 minutes
Petting Farm Fun
Animal Enrichment Activity: Our zookeepers will explain the purpose of habitat enrichment for animals. Students will be presented with options for animal enrichment. After a quick vote, students will get to see their selected activity implemented in a habitat.
​

Meet & Greet: Enjoy a visit with one of our zookeepers and an animal friend during a 10 minute meet & greet.
