Sustainability Tour<br />
Experience an adventure through the Garden while learning about a variety of environmental issues. Visit<br />
the Longleaf Pine ecosystem <strong>and</strong> learn how organisms depend on each other to survive. Become part of a<br />
food chain <strong>and</strong> experience what happens when pesticides are introduced. Compete in the Recycling Relay,<br />
<strong>and</strong> learn about ecological footprints <strong>and</strong> what can be done to reduce their size.<br />
Biology Tour<br />
After training to become an official Garden botanist, students learn about the Longleaf pine ecosystem by representing<br />
a variety of organisms that live there. They must work together to prevent extinction of these organisms. Classification<br />
of organisms will also be discussed <strong>and</strong> students will use a dichotomous key to classify four plants. Other topics include:<br />
flower anatomy, pollination, colony collapse disorder <strong>and</strong> carnivorous plants.<br />

Go to school during the 1800’s by becoming a student at the fully restored Oak Grove One Room<br />
Schoolhouse! Reenact a typical school day at the one room school house <strong>and</strong> do everything a student from<br />
the 1800’s would do. Participate in lessons about penmanship, adjectives, math, problem solving, spelling,<br />
<strong>and</strong> of course, recess!<br />
