Garden Exploration
Guided visits and observation workshops: biodiversity, plant forms, scents, uses and plant roles.
OUR OBJECTIVES
We make science accessible to the public: ecology, botany and plant-based health. We create simple, practical and inspiring experiences to learn to better understand nature — and to better protect it. Our priority: children, to nurture curiosity, creativity and hope.
The Education Department of the Cayes Botanical Garden translates knowledge from research and the field into accessible learning. We build programs that help people understand plants, ecosystems and their direct links to health, food, climate resilience and conservation.
Our activities give the public concrete understanding: observe, identify, understand and act. Through workshops and field trips, participants develop practical skills and scientific knowledge useful to daily life, environmental careers and community decisions.
Our actions are organized around three pillars: school programs · university programs · training & courses.
Inspire learning: observation, exploration, practice.
Guided visits and observation workshops: biodiversity, plant forms, scents, uses and plant roles.
School programs: educational activities, mini-workshops and nature protection awareness.
Practical workshops: how to plant, water, protect a seedling and understand the role of soil.
Internships, specialized courses and field learning.
Field internships: inventory methods, scientific photography, data collection and work with collections.
Applied courses: ecology, botany, ethnobotany, phytotherapy, naturopathy and other biodiversity topics.
Study field trips and floristic inventories to strengthen observation, identification and analysis skills.
For institutions, NGOs, government and the general public.
Capacity building: tools, field methods, educational content and best organizational practices.
Targeted internships to learn hands-on: nurseries, inventories, data collection, propagation.
Field trips to develop real skills: observation, identification, habitat assessment and monitoring.
Health · Nature · Specialized Techniques.
