Our guests in our garden look happy!



Earth Partnership for Schools Summer Institute

The North Carolina Botanical Garden and the City of Durham Stormwater Services invite teams of teachers to join the Earth Partnership for Schools. This week-long institute will train teams of teachers to create rain gardens, native plant gardens, or restored natural habitats on school grounds.

During the institute, teachers will learn about North Carolina's local flora, native plant gardening, and using the outdoors as a place for learning. Participants will also have the opportunity to visit some unique natural areas in the Triangle as well as some area schools that have schoolyard native plant gardens. 



We were fortunate in having this year's group of teachers come to visit our very own garden. We hope they enjoyed it.
