Each September, Oregon Forest Resources Institute invites home school students ages 5 to 12 to join us for a fun-filled day of outdoor learning at The Oregon Garden. Experience the beauty of the garden in late summer bloom while learning about the natural world. Get inspired through fun science and art activities! We offer hands-on, self-paced learning stations throughout the garden on topics including:

- Pollinators
- Forest wildlife
- Bug anatomy
- Fire risk and prevention
- Mud and manure management
- Fun with trees
- Garden in a glove
- The world of insects
- Plant adaptations
- Bird adaptations
…and more!

Homeschool materials are included free with general Garden admission, which can be purchased at our Visitor Center. No pre-registration required.
