Here, program director Ted Macline provides a comprehensive tour of this unique camp that offers programs for children ages 3-17.
Participants spend half the time in the actual garden, the other half in classrooms.
Vegetation grown in the Children's Garden includes vegetables, annuals, perennials and herbs. Special projects include trellises, sundials and a small pond. Macline says that many of the projects featured in the program can also be undertaken at home, and notes that a principal goal of the program is to provide kids with the skills they need to tackle gardening projects on their own.
