Child's Play

The Children's Discovery Garden at the Wegerzyn Park is so much fun...and not just for kids. This picture is in front of the straw bale house that has a planted "living roof". The metal pink flamingos and art windows welcome you to the gardens. 







Everywhere you look there are little artistic and whimsical details; from the duck feet prints in the cement walkway; to a crocodile topiary overlooking the pond; a cave to crawl in with fossils to discover;
a sensory garden with aromatic herbs; a music maze with instruments to play; a canoe to sit in and teepee's to hide in; metal wind sculptures and dog topiary; tables to build a garden in; just fun! 


                                                                       

This is "A Wiggle in its Walk"
A living sculpture made of willow by
Patrick Dougherty. It is a 200' tunnel
of twists and turns with
caves and windows looking out
into the gardens. It is just outside the
Children's Discovery garden.
