Terrarium Ecosystem Program
The Garden exhibits many distinct ecoregions, each with a unique combination of vegetation, soil, and water. By making terrariums, students will examine how these living and non-living elements work together as an ecological system.
The program includes a discussion of what plants need to survive, their habitats, and how plants are a part of our habitat (how we need plants to survive). Children are often surprised to discover that they have been eating grass (wheat seeds), wearing plants (cotton), or living in a house made of plants! Children are encouraged to think about and reflect on the importance of plants in our lives.
Students create their own terrariums to take home with them. A discussion on the care of their terrarium illustrates beautifully the concept of the water cycle. By visiting our diverse gardens, children can compare different ecosystems that can be found here in Texas and around the world.
For grades 1-5. Fee: $4.00 per child in
addition to $4.00 admission fee ($8 total). $7/adult. Limit 60 children.
