Children’s Garden
Welcome to the Children’s Garden!
The Children’s Garden is open from dawn to dusk throughout the year.
The garden is an organic green space where people can experience a connection with nature and is a popular destination for bird enthusiasts, featuring an oak tree allee, various shrubs, and bird houses designed to offer essential habitat and nourishment for the local avian population. The garden consists of mostly native plants from which people of all ages may learn of their beauty and benefit to the ecosystem.
The garden features a boxwood maze, life-sized cow sculptures, outdoor musical instruments, a gazebo, an apiary, plenty of open space for children to explore, and benches throughout the garden to relax and enjoy the beauty.
Pollinator and butterfly beds are planted throughout the garden to support our honey bee apiary and butterfly communities. As a monarch waystation, we strive to maintain the garden to provide monarch butterflies a safe and fruitful habitat.
Wagner Farm Arboretum Apiary
The apiary may be viewed by following the kiosk at the start of the trail. There are benches along the way and a bee garden to provide nourishment to the honey bee population.
The outdoor tuned musical instruments are a wonderful auditory and fun experience for people of all ages.
