our newest
Garden space
in the news

Recently our Children’s Garden was featured on the Fox 21 Carolina newscast. Executive Director Dan Shook took the reporter on a tour of the newest completed additions to the Children’s Garden: including the stone sculpture, the “stone lily” and two metal sculptures; the sensory loop; plants that would be of interest to children, like peppermint; and the Alphabet Pathway, which includes Cyrillic (Russian) alphabet letters. You can watch the video below.
