The Children's Garden

The Wonder Works’ Kids Garden encompasses everything Wonder Works is about: children, families, learning, and the environment.

As families relax and eat in the Children’s Garden oasis, bees and butterflies flitter happily on the native plants surrounding them. There are opportunities for children to assist in caring for the plants by watering them and picking the produce as it ripens. The Children’s Garden helps teach children where food comes from. The garden also helps teach children how much effort and time goes into growing our food.

The garden is also a great beginning to a healthy relationship with food. Most children will readily eat vegetables they helped grow or harvest. Children find new favorite vegetables as they explore the garden, requesting them repeatedly at the dinner table after their positive experience.
