Outreach to Schools
Garden volunteers reach thousands of students annually through events at the Garden and special outreach programs in local schools. Each spring, hundreds of students celebrate Earth Day at the Garden with activities exploring conservation and Earth stewardship. In the fall, students from schools around the Ozarks come to the Garden for Butterfly Day, where they learn about the role of pollinators through hands-on activities. Area students have planted thousands of bulbs at schools throughout Northwest Arkansas as part of the Daffodil Principle program.
