Field Trip Programs & Tours

Worthy Garden Club hosts educational field trips to the Worthy Brewing campus for school classes, summer camps and other local groups. To keep programs accessible, we ask for a suggested $25-50 donation per visit.

​

Both the Worthy gardens and the Hopservatory are open for field trips and tours, and we can tailor program content to individual groups based on age and interest. Due to surrounding ambient noise on the property and space constraints, we recommend keeping your group size below 25 people.

​

Common school field trip formats include a 1.5 hour visit, with educational stations in both the garden (weather permitting) and the Hopservatory. When weather does not allow for outdoor activity, the garden station moves to Worthy Brewing's banquet room. Groups rotate between education stations, spending 30-40 minutes learning about sustainable gardening and basic astronomy topics. Daytime visitors are able to do some solar viewing, while nighttime visitors view the night sky.
