Grandma Geri Children’s Garden

Play in our fenced in wonderland filled with musical instruments, a magical kaleidoscope and of course the waterfall. Some exciting things are happening in the library’s youth garden in the fall of 2018. Thanks to a generous donation by local patrons, Mike and Rhea Dow, the garden has experienced a complete renovation with new plants, shrubs, and trees. Spring completion will bring a new “sound garden” with a variety of musical instruments, a renovated water feature, and a variety of whimsical sculptures and interactive experiences. There are several donor opportunities to support add-ins like a built in drum set, wind sculpture, musical flowers, and a series of colorful Adirondack chairs. For more information, see the display board in our front entrance or talk to Linda Adams, the library director.
