A new virtual tour can teach you and your children about the Arboretum without having to leave the house. The Arboretum Explorer Virtual Tour, designed for elementary school-aged children, will includes four lessons: Arboretum Features, Pollinator Paradise, Waterway Wildlife, and Learning from Nature. Each lesson showcases a different part of the Arboretum and Public Garden and is supplemented by interactive activities that children can do in their own home or yard.

Read more about the tour on the Arboretum and Public Gardens website.
