World of Plants

Take your students on a trip around the world without ever leaving Memphis! Students “travel” to Africa, Asia, India, Europe, and the Americas where they will learn how different cultures use plants in their daily lives. Hands on crafts including

African tribal masks, Vietnamese Non' la hats, and Indian Rangoli showcase each areas unique use of local plants. Students will get a real “taste” of their travels at each station. 

Volunteers will assist by being a "tour guide" and teaching the children who visit about different cultures! This festival is very hands on and fun!  Any information you need to teach will be given to you! No prior knowledge needed.
