If you think that making a difference in the lives of local children is important, then we've got a great opportunity for you! Texas Discovery Gardens has developed a wide range of environmental education programs that help preK-8th grade students understand and appreciate the intricate and fascinating web of life that is known as a garden.
As an Earthkeepers® Docent you will be introducing children to the unique interrelationships of plants, insects, and other creatures in nature. Each age specific program includes an interactive tour of the Gardens and a wide variety of hands-on activities such as building a terrarium, planting seeds, measuring garden beds, and observing insect behavior. Programs last approximately an hour and are offered Monday through Saturday 10am to 5pm.
New Docents will receive written curriculum, attend an orientation session, and shadow experienced Docents and Staff before leading tours themselves.
Our education department works with local public and private schools, scouts, family groups, neighborhood play groups, science clubs, and other children's groups. Scout/After-School Programs and Birthday Parties are another way to work with children in a relaxed, less structured manner.
To volunteer with children’s programming please contact:
