Plant science popularization,as an important form of natural education,plays an important role in children’s physical and mental development. Through field investigations of 6 children parks in Guangzhou City,we found the natural education is dominated by plant science popularization,and summarized the existing contents and forms of children-oriented plant science popularization education. Based on excellent plant science popularization cases,this paper divided the popularization content into four categories: basic plant knowledge,planting and management,natural aesthetics,and cultural spirit. It also analyzed the ways to implementing science popularization,discussed the design ideas of the science display board and the selection of popular science plants,and put forward some suggestions for the implementation of"participatory"botanic science popularization classroom.
