Early childhood teachers are invited to bring their students to the Missouri Botanical Garden
for an unforgettable visit to the Gardenland Express. This year the annual holiday train show celebrates conifers of the world.
Children will enjoy the train show, complete a craft and learn how conifers help animals survive the winter. All classes receive a take-home Winter Kit to use in their classroom and schoolyard.
Programs will be held on Dec. 1, 8, 15 and 22. Registration is required. Cost is $75 per group of 25 students.
