Learning Resources for Schools
This area is blooming with free learning resources to help young people and their educators discover the fascinating world of plants and work of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. We love to hear from people using our resources and are always looking out for ways we can make our resources better. If you have any suggestions for how we could grow or improve our resources, or would like to share how you’ve used some of them, please drop us an email at schools@rbge.org.uk.
This learning box grows a mix of plant adventures for primary children and classes; including Teddy Bears' Trail, Life of Plants, Wild Words, seasonal adventures, and Marley's School of Garden Magic!
Check out this learning box to discover careers at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Ideal for secondary school pupils, school leavers, young adults, career changers and anyone interested in what botanic gardens do!
Plant-Kind
Discover the Plant-Kind resource which is inspired by the amazing biodiversity-friendly work in schools and early years settings. It's a platform where teachers and learning practitioners can share examples with each other – whether they’re big or small, we celebrate them all!
