Spring is the time to visit local botanical gardens! Try to pick a time to visit when a particular flower is blooming or for a special exhibition on display.
There is a lot of walking for participants and the gardens can be hilly. Take some volunteers and extra equipment such as walkers and wheelchairs for older or more physically challenged participants. For those who work in physical rehab, this is a great functional outing for practicing walking and wheelchair mobility.
Often there is a discount for groups or even free tickets for certain kinds of groups. If you cannot get a discount as a group, ask for the school rate. Have the gardens give your group a guided tour through one or more sections of the garden keeping in mind the physical endurance or attention your group can tolerate. Many botanical gardens offer snacks or a lunch meal, so make arrangements to eat at the gardens.
