We have pre and post-visit Discovery Packets for extension activities upon request.

Larger groups will need to be split into groups of no more than 30 students and rotated through hour-long programs.

Texas Discovery Gardens has partial scholarships available on an as-needed basis for Title 1 Schools and nonprofit groups. Please reach out to [email protected] for more information.
