Children's Garden

We will have a sizeable children's garden to display plants of importance in agriculture and horticulture. The focus will be to help children understand the many different forms that plants can take, the different ways that we benefit from plants, and how a variety of plants are used. For example, we will have sections of the garden to demonstrate food crops, fiber crops, plants fed to livestock, and other types of economically important plants. A special emphasis will be made to grow plants with high visual or tactile interest for children. Walking paths and signs will provide for an interesting and enjoyable stroll for people of all ages.
