The mission of the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) at the Chicago Botanic Garden is to develop, deliver and evaluate plant-based educational programs for teachers, school students and youth in grades PreK–12. Our programs engage learners of all ages and backgrounds through hands-on, interactive experiences with plant and environmental science, ecology and nature.
