Time to Close

“The End of All Things,” is the title to one J.R. Tolkien’s closing chapters in Return of the King and it describes this final week of October. Hershey Children’s Garden concludes its ninth season this Friday with a quiet closing of the gate and a click of the lock, but the work does not end there. Next comes fall clean up.

While the children play in another field, garden staff work away on a number of projects. First, there are bulbs to plant to welcome everyone back in the spring. Then, there are perennials to cut back and fall decorations to remove and store. Besides clean up activities, there are a number of maintenance projects we will undertake in order to make the garden even better and more beautiful next season when we open for our tenth anniversary season.
