Sensory Garden Area in Children’s Garden

One of the main features of the Sensory Area is the big SUN PATIO. In this area children learn to use their senses to better enjoy the garden. Eyes, Ears, Mouth and Nose. Seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and of course feeling. Are things smooth or rough, hot of cold, feathery? Pokey or stickery?

Butterfly Area in the Children’s Garden

In this area children learn about the life cycle of a butterfly from adult female, egg, larva or caterpillar, pupa or chrysalis and back to the butterfly.

Bird Area of the Children’s Garden

One of the fun features of the Bird Area is the Bird House Classroom. Children can use it to plant a seed during out VEG Tours or to listen to one of the many books our master gardeners might choose to read with them.
