Introducing: Nature-Based Academics at Hudson Gardens

This Fall, families can discover engaging educational experiences that blend science, literacy, math, and exploration in a beautiful outdoor setting. Whether you’re looking for homeschool science programs, outdoor tutoring, or family-friendly educational activities, Hudson Gardens offers hands-on learning opportunities designed to inspire children of all ages.

From interactive homeschool science classes led by naturalists to nature-based tutoring with a licensed teacher, these programs encourage students to explore the natural world while strengthening academic skills. Families can also learn together through all-ages homeschool science sessions that make science fun, accessible, and memorable. Explore the upcoming homeschool and family education programs at Hudson Gardens and discover how outdoor learning can enrich your child’s educational journey.

Nature-Based Academics Open House

Join us at the Hudson Gardens pavilion to learn about our new academic offerings starting September 2026. Parents, children, students, and educators of homeschool, public, private, charter, and alternative settings are encouraged to attend. The first 30 minutes will provide research showing the positive impacts and benefits of a nature-based approach to education. The next 30 minutes will introduce our new programs. The final 30 minutes will leave time for a Q & A and individual requests. Simple activities will be provided to entertain younger children. Come for the whole presentation or stop by for what suits your needs. If this time does not work, join us at South Platte Park for the weekend date.
