BBG runs diverse programs in youth education, conservation, and community horticulture.
The Garden's education department runs a full range of adult and children's classes and events, and also educates thousands of school and camp groups throughout the year.

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is a founding partner of the Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment (BASE), a small public high school dedicated to science, environmental studies, and urban ecology that was launched in 2003.
A Field Studies course is offered alongside Living Environment for incoming freshmen where students spend time at BBG developing scientific skills and doing outdoor scientific study.
The school is operated by a partnership between BBG, Prospect Park Alliance, and the New York City Department of Education.
Students are also connected with scientists and horticulturists who serve as mentors for advanced research studies students develop.
BASE graduated its first class in 2007 and has attained its fourth Gates Millennium Scholar in 2013.

BBG's Garden Apprentice Program (GAP) provides internships for students in grades 8 through 12 in gardening, science education, and environmental issues.
The program offers students training and volunteer placements with increasing levels of responsibility for up to four years.
Many are hired for employment after completing the four-year program.

The Discovery Garden hosts weekly workshops for children.
It has interactive exhibits and a small plot with a variety of vegetables.
The Garden is currently being expanded.

Project Green Reach is a science-focused school outreach program that annually reaches nearly 2,500 students and teachers in schools in under-served neighborhoods.
