Pre-Visit Information

For your convenience, a partially completed 511C form is provided (pdf format). To ensure a successful day, it is essential to review BOTH the Program Specific Information below AND the General Guidelines!
 

Program Specific Information

Before coming, have students watch The Greenhouse - a movie/podcast outlining what to expect for their visit; this reminds students: 

• this program is not “an outing”, it is a “work day”
• please create name tags for your students (self adhesive labels work well) -we can get to know your students quickly when we can see their names!
• dress in layers (e.g. a T-shirt and a sweater/sweatshirt) because the greenhouse is often warm
• bring labeled bottles of water - no drinking fountains at the Greenhouse
• all program materials, including pencils and clipboards, are provided
