The activities and resources included in this guide were components of the From Garden to Classroom Outreach Education Program, which was presented to schools in the Northeast Avalon region from 2009 - 2011, thanks to the support of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) PromoScience funding program.

During that time, several Botanical Boot Camp teacher training workshops were offered at the Botanical Garden, and on the west coast of Newfoundland, utilizing these activities and resources.

This guide was compiled and developed based on feedback from both the outreach program and the teacher workshop participants.
