The Garden offers the opportunity for children and families to interact with living organisms led by knowledgeable farmer educators. The space encourages open exploration and the use of imagination in thinking about the plants and animals who live in it and in other natural spaces. Green City Growers will maintain the Garden during the growing season, planting and harvesting the produce and herbs.

With the support of a farmer educator, children and families can explore local plants and discover how they change during and throughout the seasons.

Visiting families will explore and consider the biodiversity within even a small garden and the area around the Museum.
