School Age Tours,
 (plus Scouts Earning Badges)

Child/school tours are conducted  at individual levels so each age group can fully comprehend what it takes to grow plants and flowers in a large greenhouse facility.  Using language they will understand, we go at their pace.  If they need to ask more questions, we take the time to answer them. 

Kids can usually stop by the transplanting area and often participate on the production line to plant a small rooted plant.  We'll visit the seeding and germination rooms, gigantic refrigerated coolers, watch machines and computers water plants and all that cool stuff.  Your visit here will take about 2 hours.  Let us know if you need to make it shorter.
There will be a lot of indoor flat walking.  We can accommodate wheelchairs. 



Scouts/Badges:
Please let me know what you would like your troop to learn at least 2 weeks prior to your visit.
Water conservation, Planting for the community, etc.

We want to ensure that your group has the most educational experience ever!

RULES
Safety is absolute first for our visitors. Please explain the rules prior to their arrival, and I will repeat again once they get here. Thank you

Your tour guide is the line leader.  No one will go or step ahead of  the tour guide
If a child steps ahead, the line will stop.

 Please have one adult to about 5 children.  You know your group, if you need more adults, please bring them along. 

 Let us know prior to your visit the specific topics you wish us to discuss, if any.  We want to be able to coincide with they are learning at school. 

Please remember that no one is allowed to be unattended at our farm.  Anyone not arriving at the start of the tour won't be able to attend. 
All group members must stay with the guide.
There are restrooms available about 1 hour into the tour.  There are no others in between.  Please plan ahead. 
Expect children to get wet or some soil on them.  Water usually dries before they leave.  Soil brushes off. 
Kids (and grownups) usually get a free take home plant to enjoy. 
Our tour takes us through the BIG SQUARE of greenhouses on the photo image. 

We hope this is an enjoyable time for you!  Have FUN!

Sincerely,
Cindy Thomas
