The HKZBG is probably the best equipped garden in Hong Kong to undertake a wide array of teaching on zoo and horticulture education. This is because of the comprehensive and fully documented zoological and botanical collections it houses.
Through its continuous education programme, the Garden provides guided visits for more than 10,000 school children every year.
The main objective of the zoo and horticulture education programme is to promote the role of the
HKZBG and an understanding of animals, plants, conservation, biodiversity and environmental issues both through formal education programmes and informal interpretation of the collections.
