What it actually looks like
Our note
This is mostly walking and listening rather than doing, so it lands better with children who are already comfortable on a guided walk. It starts at grade 2 and runs to grade 12, so ask them to pitch it for your group.
What the children do
A 1.5 hour walk of the Ethnobotany Trail for grades 2 to 12, learning the Indigenous names and uses of native plants and discussing the importance of native ecosystems. The site describes it as taking place in W̱SÁNEĆ territory. Program fees include entrance into the gardens, and no dollar amount is published.
Walk the Ethnobotany Trail with a guide, stopping at native plants to hear their Indigenous names and what they were and are used for.
Good to know
Washrooms are on site and most paths take strollers, though the trail itself is rougher going. The price, the group size limit and the notice period are not published, so call ahead.
