Learn

A world of discovery awaits primary students at the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney. We offer a range of unique learning activities designed to engage and delight both you and your students.

Inspire your students with a visit to Australia’s oldest scientific institution. The Garden’s unique science and history programs are designed to engage and excite learners.

Using the ‘flow learning’ technique, your students will be engaged and excited by hands-on opportunities to plant and harvest, discover the Aboriginal uses of plants and taste Australian bush foods.
