AB: Garden Explorations, a continuing program at the South Carolina Botanical
Garden (SCBG), Clemson University, promotes science participation among children,
families, undergraduates, and teachers. Integrated by themes of Plants and their Partners,
Plants and their Environment, and Web of Life, Garden Explorations programs include Summer
Science Camps, Family Science Saturdays, and Family and Community Outreach Programs. In
these programs, college students (largely education, horticulture, biology, and recreation
majors) have the opportunity to learn about and experience natural science and math in the
garden, along with elementary school teachers, parents, and upper-elementary age children.
These inquiry-based learning opportunities enhance and expand the education and
professional preparation of Clemson University students who participate in the program. By
involving students in intensive hands-on, inquiry-oriented life science and math
activities during Garden Explorations programs, we seek to increase science literacy in
our region.

describes more than 70 gardening activities for children. Planting a garden, watching the
plants mature, and harvesting the produce can be an exciting experience for all concerned,
especially for urban children who have never seen food gathered outside of a supermarket.
Complete instructions for a successful urban gardening project cover the challenges to
getting started (money, land, tools, seeds, etc.) motivation, site development, garden
design, and a guide to indoor/container gardening. Special activities, other resources,
and descriptions of existing youth garden projects are also included. (rbl).
