Education for schools

We are excited to welcome school groups and other groups into our beautiful botanic gardens!

Are you planning a school excursion to Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens?

The botanic gardens team welcomes schools and other groups to visit throughout the year.

The Botanic Gardens Living Collection of plants and associated features provide students with many learning experiences appropriate to the school curriculum.

The focus of your visit to the gardens offers endless opportunities but can include a range of Science and HASS subjects, such as plant adaptations, living things, classification, water cycle, sustainability, ethnobotany, math sessions and more.
