Garden Education 
The botanical garden plays an important part in 
stimulating the study and understanding of the sciences. Each year 1,500 
students from Huntsville and Madison County spend a day at the Garden learning 
about the role plants play in their lives. 
For information on children's

attend various butterfly-oriented programs. Environmental awareness is promoted 
in our composting education program and teacher workshops help carry the message
