  • The Wonderful World of Plants (October - April)

This program is designed for learners in Grades 1 and 2.  Through opportunities for hands-on explorations in our greenhouse, students will gain a deeper understanding of characteristics of living vs non-living things and how plants (and other living things) meet their basic needs.  Students may have the opportunity to participate in a variety of centre based learning activities and help care for and maintain the plants in our greenhouse as part of the program.  This program may include a walk in the local area.   (Location: Greenhouse beside the City Adult Learning Centre, across from Broadview station)
