Our Educational Mission is to use a variety of innovative and creative interpretive services to tell the story of Rae Selling Berry and the history of the garden, explain the importance of plants with particular emphasis on regional natives, exemplify the stewardship of our landscape by demonstrating sustainable gardening practices appropriate to our region, and to facilitate a safe and enjoyable learning experience.
NEW! Summer Youth Internship 2008 For boys and girls ages 13-15
• Plant morphology and identification—what is a weed? • Alpine plants and Rock Gardening • Germination of Seeds • Carnivorous Plants and the insects they eat! Consistent with the mission of The Berry Botanic Garden we believe it is important that today’s young people develop a realistic understanding of protecting rare and endangered plant species of the Pacific NW and learn about the role that plants play in our everyday life.
