The Hershey Children's Garden is my favorite, especially in the fall. Your post cracked me up when you say Morgan is calm, yet she is the one sticking her head in the waterfall... I love it! And really, why would you NOT stick your head in the waterfall? :-) I think my second fave garden here is the Topiary Garden. It is really rocking my world lately with its crazy shapes and textures and colors. Therese — I love the woods too! The Hershey Children’s Garden is my favorite, especially in the fall.

Gardening can be pretty solitary (and blessedly so!) and the opportunity to share and learn from others doesn't happen all the time. This class offers that "community" of gardeners to get ideas and swap stories. GardenMad1 — You hit the nail on the head!

They absolutely love coming to the Botanical Garden and even Bridget the little three year old can say the word "botanical". They treat the Hershey's Children Garden like their own backyard. They like the texture of the different plants, they enjoyed the craft, but most of all they just ran around and played and had the best time. I'll never forget forget the time we came this spring and seven-year-old Patrick ran through the woods saying "I love the woods". Morgan is much more calm about things, but loves to stick her head in the waterfall in the Glass House, as well as attempt to get into almost any body of water that you have outside. All three kids loved running through the fountain in the Hershey's Children's Garden. We try to come several times during the spring and summer, and now the children are looking forward to autumn in the garden. Thank you for having this wonderful opportunity for us. And they want me to say that we will be members forever. What a wonderful time the children and I had there this weekend.

I do love the solitary nature of gardening but there are times when I would love to share too.
