Monk Botanical Gardens
PreK- 1st Grade Field Trip
Monk Botanical Gardens field trips are designed to be hands-on, inquiry and experience-based programs. Gardens field trips will get your students interacting with nature in ways that keep them engaged and learning. All field trips are matched to Wisconsin science, environmental literacy & sustainability, natural resources, and model early learning standards as they apply.
Choose one of the themes below, or reach out with other ideas! We are more than happy to accommodate other ideas.
Seeds & Bugs; Sept-Oct and April-June
Students will have a chance to look at and play with a variety of seeds from common Wisconsin plants, take a seed walk,
and end the trip learning about the relationship between insects and plants. Depending on the time of year students will
spread milkweed seed and learn about monarch butterflies, or will spread seeds for bees.

Engage all of your senses at the Gardens. Depending on the time of year, students will taste, smell, touch, listen, and look

Tremendous Trees; Year Round
Meet trees in the Gardens to compare leaves and needles, look at the rings of a tree, and observe the wild world of trees.
