Axe ’Em, Jacks!
SFA Gardens offers educational programs for children in kindergarten through fifth grade that are designed to get them outside and encourage curiosity about the natural world. Pre-visit packets include information to help educators and their students prepare for their visit to the Brundrett Conservation Education Building and the gardens. The packet also includes the Science Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills – or TEKS – that the activities will cover.
