Where: Fata Morgana Greenhouse
This program introduces the three parts of our greenhouse and the plants growing there. Students learn about how plants adapt to drought and get more information about the tropical rainforest and selected tropical useful plants. Students also learn about carnivorous plants and find out why and how they "hunt".
Key terms: adaptation, biomes, ecology, tropical rainforest, useful plants, carnivorous plants
Where: Fata Morgana Greenhouse
Key terms:butterfly development in real-time, mimicry, diversity of nature, body structure
We recommend joining this program during or shortly after the Exhibition of Tropical Butterflies. Follow our event calendar!
This program introduces relationships between butterflies and other organisms. Students learn about butterflies' life cycle and can observe their hatching with their own eyes. The program also explains butterfly colors, body structure, and how they perceive the world.
Where: Ornamental Garden (Outdoor Expositions)
Key terms:plant record breakers, useful plants, plant ecology, geography
This program introduces the most interesting plants from the southern part of our outdoor expositions.

The program merges interesting bits about plants with information students learn at school.

This program introduces Czech and exotic conifers and other gymnosperms (e.g. ginkgo). Students learn about their structure, reproduction, and way of life, as well as other interesting bits about their practical use. They also learn about several "living fossils" and can try to identify selected conifers based on their typical characteristics. The program also describes the relationship between gymnosperms and other organisms.
Worksheets for the program are available in a simplified version (roughly up to 7th grade) or an extended version (suitable for comprehensive schools).
Key terms: plant reproduction, use of gymnosperms, "living fossils", plant morphology, ecology and environmental protection, cross-curricular relationships (geography, literature, music)
