"There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors                                        are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again."                                                                                                                               Elizabeth Lawrence

The Garden Is Designed Around Five Themed Sections

                                                                       Children's Garden of Discovery

    This area, located in the center of the Garden and surrounded by path, features plants that appeal to a child's senses.  Look for plant ID signs; some have fun animal names.  Scratch 'n sniff scented geraniums and herbs such as basil, thyme and lemon verbena.  Touch soft lamb's ears, lions' tail and kangaroo paw, and feel the smoothness of succulents like hens-and-chicks (if you can find where they're hiding).
