Description
Designed for the garden's youngest visitors, this space invites children to investigate plants and wildlife across distinct micro-habitats. Narrow paths wind through a meadow of native grasses and flowers that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Kids can climb raised platforms to get close to woodland tree canopies, or navigate a circuit of split logs and boulders through the marsh. Throughout the space, interactive exhibits and informational panels pair with free lessons and activities to keep kids engaged with the landscape.
