The Grand Opening of the New Youth & Children's Garden!


Thank you for your patience! And now that we’re ready for our grand entrance…will you join us for cake and lemonade on Tuesday, August 24, at 1pm in the Idea Garden (good choice!)?
The plants are struggling a bit—they were held over (and not very happy about the situation), but we already have a few changes in mind for next year. Bear with us and please—ask questions and make suggestions: we’d love to hear your thoughts on our changes.
Enjoy the pictures below…


And we started with a felt liner.



Rolling out the rubber liner.



Positioning the rubber liner.


Adding tiers of rock.


Shoveling rock around the plants. This is back-breaking work!



A horticulturist needs to plant in wet and dry conditions!


Is this a dead tree? No! It's the start of our Alphabet Trail: "A" is for Arbor!


And "B" is for Butterfly Garden, and "C" is for Checkerboard...

Come on in and see the rest of the Alphabet Trail, as well as Pixie Point and Pixie Passage. Or stop in for a game of Tic-Tac-Toe. Can you spot a fish or two in the pond? If you listen quietly you're sure to hear a frog shout as you approach. Join us for a piece of cake and let us know what you think of our new addition!
