Education

St Andrews Botanic Garden provides a unique outdoor learning environment to explore and learn through play whilst discovering more about the world around you!

Our programmes and learning experiences are designed to inspire learners, teaching practitioners, carers and families to get hands on with nature with opportunities to build skills and have new experiences through structured sessions and free play.

Have fun, be curious and feel inspired to investigate more!

Schools Programmes

Our learning experiences are designed around the Curriculum for Excellence experiences and outcomes, providing practical outdoor activities and access to experiences you can’t do in the classroom. 

What our Visits & Experiences Involve:

Our school programme runs Monday-Friday during term time.

A typical school visit involves an hour long facilitated workshop, an hour for lunch and an hour of self-led discovery with teachers making use of our Teachers’ Kits (£5 per pupil)

We also offer self-led visits with space for lunch and the option to organise your own learning activities, or borrow one of our Teachers’ Kits (£3.50 per child)

Please note your visit will take place outside so we recommend your pupils dress for the Scottish weather.

All our tutor-led workshops can be delivered at Early, First or Second levels.
