Did you ever feel the need to take the child in your life to somewhere fun but nurturing; exciting but safe; and innovative but warm and inviting? Bookworm Gardens, a new organization with the unique concept of a children’s garden based on children’s literature is setting out to accomplish just such a marvelous place. Bookworm Gardens invites the community to share experiences, explore and learn about the natural world, be creatively inspired, and visit sites of the imagination. Bookworm Gardens supports the countywide focus on family activities and tourism by providing an additional engaging local attraction which interprets the love of earth and the satisfaction of reading a good book. The creation of Bookworm Gardens, in the city of Sheboygan, will promote a beautiful, healthy alternative to life in an urban environment.
An innovative children’s garden, Bookworm Gardens is adding a new dimension to Sheboygan County. Six different garden areas organized by concept: Cultural History, Animals, Natural Woodland, Farm & Garden, Pond & Wetland, and Memory feature interactive activities with reading material supporting each garden space. For example, theCultural History area includes special aspects of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House in the Big Woods . A native Wisconsin woodland will feature a covered wagon and a log cabin. Activities include journaling and the ability to experience what living in a log cabin and traveling in a covered wagon was like. The garden has many diversified natural elements offering a variety of recreational opportunities, some of which may be organized while the majority of the areas have “free” play value.
