Botanical Garden Tour for Children

A tour of colors, a tour of scents, a tour where you’re allowed to touch the plants, trees, and insects! Botany is the science that studies plants, their life cycles, how they change with the seasons, their characteristics, and their classification into families... From harvesting seeds to drying flowers in the herbarium, the botanist has no shortage of tasks to perform. All while taking the time to observe, deepen their knowledge, and marvel... Step through the gates of the Lautaret Garden and leave with your young botanist’s diploma!
 

An accompanying adult must be present during the visit. The child remains the responsibility of the adult(s) with whom he or she came. Don't forget your binoculars if you have them! A family of marmots not far from the small pond...
 

Let the kids take the stage
