Calling all explorers! Join us for an exciting, hands-on program where we will discover some of the amazing plants growing at the JCRA.
Youth participants, accompanied by an adult, will step into the role of plant detectives as they practice making careful scientific observations. Through creative activities and a guided exploration of the garden, we will explore plant structures, growing patterns, and adaptations.
You’ll also get an introduction to ecoEXPLORE, an incentive-based community science program developed by The North Carolina Arboretum. By making real-world observations and completing fun challenges, youth participants can earn badges and prizes throughout the year.
There is no need to have an ecoEXPLORE account prior to this program in order to participate. Program begins at the Visitor Center. Come dressed for the weather as this program will be held partly outdoors. In the event of inclement weather, activities will be moved inside.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to equip your budding explorers with the knowledge and tools to continue (or begin!) their science journey!
