Taught Workshops
We offer a range of taught workshops and custom sessions that enhance courses in botany, plant science, evolution, conservation, plant diversity, horticulture and more. These sessions provide hands-on learning experiences and exclusive access to our collections and expertise.
These sessions are open to any student groups, whether that’s a course cohort, student society, subject-specific club or interdisciplinary team with an interest in plants and the natural world.
Before booking a visit, please contact the Higher Education Coordinator at education@botanic.cam.ac.uk to discuss your requirements. College and university educators are also welcome to arrange unassisted educational visits for student groups free of charge using the same form.
Volunteering and Work Placements
Our Plant Explainer programme offers students the chance to volunteer at Garden events and drop-in sessions. If you’re passionate about plants and interested in gaining experience in science communication, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact the Higher Education Coordinator at education@botanic.cam.ac.uk to find out more about the programme.
We also welcome enquiries from college and university students seeking educational work placements at the Garden. Opportunities are currently limited, but we are working to formalise and expand this offering in the future.
