For the last 11 years, elementary and high school students have enjoyed free special guided educational tours and art classes at Lotusland. In 1998, Lotusland applied for and received a special grant for a pilot program of 4th grade education, with an introductory lesson in the classroom followed by a field trip to Lotusland. The tour, conducted by specially trained docents, reveals to local fourth graders the magical landscapes of Lotusland while teaching them about various rare and endangered plants.
