Teachers In the Garden

Developed to provide teachers with an opportunity to virtually bring nature to students during this global pandemic. Teachers in the Garden is a multi-phase program created to fit today’s learning challenges and constraints. Each phase will cover a broad range of topics from horticulture and ocean themed curriculum to more focused themes as we progress. Sign up for our newsletter to stay tuned for more on this evolving program or reach out to education@htbg.com for more information.

School Tours

The garden serves as a living classroom. We offer free tours for any school group looking for an educational field trip. Reach out to guestservices@htbg.com to find out how to sign up your school. School tours take place in the morning before the rush allowing your class to experience the garden without interruption. You can tour the garden with or without a guide. Our guides will take your students through the garden pointing out key spots to learn about their surroundings.

Testimonials

The tour and the Garden are absolutely wonderful and I am so grateful as a teacher for the opportunities HTBG affords students! Thank you all so much for the hard work putting the tour together and the effort it takes to make it available during this time.

The field trip was great! The staff at HTBG were amazing guides. Thank you so much! I will be writing a yelp review to talk about how awesome the garden is.

Thanks again for hosting our students for a visit last week. It was a real highlight of our time on the island!!! I’ve just made a small donation to HTBG in thanks for your hospitality. I look forward to visiting the garden during my next visit to Hawaii.
