It’s all about bamboo at this camp. Explore the many bamboo groves in the gardens as we learn about the history, varieties and many uses of the world’s tallest grass. We will make bamboo crafts, tour the bamboo museum, build a bamboo hut and fish with bamboo poles. We may even see Louie, our resident “guard” cat who likes to hunt in the bamboo!

Students will don lab coats, latex gloves and use the microscopes in our “lab” while investigating clues in the garden to solve a mystery. We’ll be spending time in the greenhouse and throughout the gardens using observation skills to learn about the ecosystem of gardening, how plants affect our everyday life.
