Children’s Garden
Children’s Garden
The Children’s Garden is a collaborative area split into the 7 dwarves. Numerous Master Gardeners work together to make this space beautiful, fun and accessible for children. The Children’s Garden is full of native and adaptive plants that bloom and flourish through the year. Through a large art installation, kids can learn about the different Hardiness Zones in Texas. Complete with a large sandbox, a race track with cars, a playhouse, and colorful metal artwork, the area is fun for kids of all ages!
