Children's Garden
As you wander around this two-acre garden, you learn that there are really eight different
gardens in one!
 |
Dinosaur Garden:
Enter the ancient and mysterious world of dinosaurs where
you can walk through a rib cage, dig for fossils and step into footprints of the largest
creatures that ever walked the Earth. |
Space Garden: See a real Space Station node (donated by Marshall Space
Flight Center), aquaponic display and Water Rocket Clock (with a real missile - we have plenty
of them in Huntsville!) |
 |
 |
Rainbow Garden:Explore the world of rainbows through prisms and
kaleidoscopes. See rainbow gardens, benches and paths. And see if you can find our pot of gold! |
1/2 Acre Wood:Take action in the Half-Acre Wood and discover the joy of working
with your hands and getting dirt under your fingernails! Look
for worms and bugs in their homes. And, just how do plants grow? Get to the bottom of that
mystery at the Root View. We’ve all seen bees, but do you know how bees see us? Step up to the
Bee’s Eye View. Be a weatherman. Plan a party in the Celebration Station. |
 |
Bamboo Garden:Musical instruments, cutting boards, pipes, fences, fishing poles
and even buildings and bridges can be made from bamboo. With so many uses, it’s a good thing
that bamboo grows so fast! See how many uses we have found for bamboo. You’ll find instruments,
wind chimes, a swinging bridge and much more! |
Maze Garden:Get lost in the old-fashioned maze, or make one of your own from
giant sunflowers with moveable leaves. There is also a labyrinth for fun on a smaller scale.
Friends and families can call directions from the fabulous tree-house overlook. |

 |
Storybook Garden:Featuring toadstool seating, a pergola, hidden garden gate and
a wishing well, this garden is filled with visual references to well-known fairytales. |
International Garden:Look around you. Huntsville is full of people who
came from other states and even other countries. That is one of the things that make this a
special place to live because when people bring their foods and customs from countries all
over the World we get to experience them too! Each year the Garden will pick a country to
honor in the International Garden. During the year, plants from that country will be highlighted
in the flowerbeds. |
