Anyone ever done Behind the Seeds Family Tour???

[debm]

Saw that they have an hour long Behind the Seeds Tour for families. Anyone ever done this? I'm wondering if it is worth it. Our 4 kids love doing the ride and oldest son is studying plants in school. I wouldn't mind paying for it if it is something more than a private boat tour. Anyone?? Thanks!!

I did Behind the Seeds many years ago (when I was working on my PhD and had to add a Botony project to round things out) and found it very informative. The group I was in all seemed quite knowledgable already so most of the questions went WAY over my head. I found the hydroponics interesting (as that was my project) but beyond that I was pretty much at a loss.

I'm not so sure it would hold the attention of younger children, unless they are terribly interested in gardening/plants/etc. If I recall correctly, most of the questions were about soil management, pest control, and enhancing crop/flower output. That said, I'm certain every group is different and it's pretty cool to go behind the scenes (though you don't see much you can't already see from the boat).
