Hershey Childrens Garden A Place To Grow

About this book

"Since its opening in 1999, the Hershey Children's Garden at Cleveland Botanical Garden has been considered one of the best of the new public children's gardens that are being built throughout the country. Hershey Children's Garden: A Place to Grow celebrates the horticultural and design excellence found within this special place.". "Maureen Heffernan tells the story of how the garden was developed - from initial idea, to guiding philosophy, to its design, development, and opening day. Readers will gain an understanding of this ambitious garden, whose goal was no less than to create a half-acre urban Eden for children. The color photography of Ian Adams, Dixi Carrillo, Janet Century, and Sara Guren brings to life this very active garden and captures children and visitors of all ages interacting and delighting in the garden."--BOOK JACKET.
