Bringing STEM to your Campus
We’re delighted to bring Cultivate directly to school administrators and teachers on their own campuses. This program can be scheduled for professional development days or incorporated into faculty meetings—and best of all, it is completely free to book.
Cultivate offers hands-on, standards-based STEM curriculum grounded in plant and environmental science. Each session includes a bin of ready-to-use STEM materials, making it easy for teachers to bring these lessons into their classrooms. We also guide a walking tour of your campus to inspire educators to connect plant science with the natural environment just outside their doors.
To host Cultivate at your school, the site must be located in Alabama, within a 100-mile radius of Bellingrath Gardens & Home, and have a minimum of 15 participants.
