Phase 3b | The Garden Grows
Phase 3B represents a significant expansion of outdoor garden experiences, building upon earlier phases to deepen engagement for visitors of all ages. This phase includes several major garden areas, with concepts that will continue to evolve.
Children's Garden
The Children’s Garden is envisioned as an imaginative, interactive space where curiosity and play spark a lifelong connection to nature. Ideas for this area include climbing, cooling, and musical elements that encourage exploration while immersing young visitors in the natural environment around them.
Planted Trellis
The Planted Trellis is planned along the central spine of the Gardens, conceptually linking the Visitors Center to the Tree Allée and Beargrass Creek Overlook. This trellis would provide an opportunity to feature unique climbing plants, as well as a shady place for visitors to rest.
