Registration window March 3, 10:00 a.m. -March 10, 7:00 p.m.
Dive into a world of fleshy leaves, bizarre shapes, and incredible survival stories! This field trip invites students to explore the diverse and "juicy" world of succulents. Participants will discover how these resilient plants have adapted to dry, sunny environments by storing water in their leaves, stems, and roots. From the tiny "living stones" (Lithops) to towering cacti, we will explore various species, learn to identify their unique waxy textures, and understand how they thrive on neglect. The trip includes a picture book of what was learned, and students will participate in a hands-on propagation session, teaching participants how to grow new plants from a single leaf.
Ticket cost:
- Students/children $16.00
- Chaperones FREE (Will not participate)
Heartland events are designed for families to attend together. Students need to be accompanied by an adult chaperone. If your student will be attending with another family, please email the field trip host to let them know once you complete your registration. Chaperones must be the legal parent or 25 years and older. All chaperones must be healthy, ethical people with the skills to be responsible adult chaperones.
**To ensure the health and safety of all attendees, please do not attend a field trip or event if you, your student(s), or anyone in your household is ill or showing possible signs of illness.**

Refunds will not be given for any reason. As a courtesy, if you are sick or unable to attend a field trip, please contact the teacher who planned the event and let them know so they do not have to wait at the venue for you.* Families who are no-shows may lose access to future field trips.*
May I pay using my student's planning amount? Yes! You can pay for your student's ticket with your student's planning amount. There are two steps to purchase field trip tickets with your student's planning amount.
