Sarah P. Duke Gardens offers a variety of programs for children, families, and students. Our programs are designed for children to explore and discover the complexity of the Garden environment. Programs explore the total garden environment discovering the inter-connections between plants, animals, and people. We offer school programs and public programs guided and self-guided. These programs include tours, scavenger hunts, sensory walks, games, in-depth explorations, classroom programs, amphitheater programs, story time, camp, pre-school workshops, performances, and more. All programs are age appropriate, hands on, and are created to offer learning opportunities for all children who visit the Gardens.

Mission:
Our programs provide opportunities for exploration, discovery, and learning to children of all ages in our community. We encourage an interest in plant science and ecology by fostering an appreciation and understanding of the natural world. We explore the connections between plants, animals, and people. Through outreach into the community we help children from a diverse urban environment and challenged populations enrich their lives by offering experiences to explore and learn about plant life and the natural world.

All our instructors are experienced and trained teachers who know how to make nature education come alive for kids.
