discovery
Discover the wonders of Myall Park Botanic Garden by:
-
visiting our Garden and enjoying the
walks and
trails
provided. Some walks are very short and along the way you can see many
different planted species, while the trails are longer and take you through
our natural bushland. The brochures accompanying the walks and trails
describe botanical details as well as field and artistic elements.
-
visiting our Garden and enjoying our
fact
sheets. Discover: how plants are named; differences between
grevilleas and hakeas, why plants become rare and at times extinct, and many
more. There are lists of fauna and flora as
well.
Myall
Park Botanic Garden also offers activities for children of all abilities.
Children can discover and enjoy nature through planned discovery 'lesson's,
activity sheets, games, drawing and playing musical instruments.
We also have an off-situ educational programme 'Save
a Species'. The importance of biodiversity and the plants local to the
school's region is valued and understood through action planning, propagation,
and research.
These programmes
have been guided by the following:
Educational opportunities should be available for all ages, including general
and specialised audiences, local and international. Discovery should be the
focus so learning can be enjoyable and memorable.
The
role of education at Myall Park Botanic Garden is to increase public knowledge
and understanding of the value and vital importance of plants from arid and
semi-arid regions, their relationship with animals and the preservation of
ecosystems. Networking effectively with universities, colleges, schools and
other botanical/horticultural institutions enriches our educational offerings.
