About Bookworm Gardens

Bookworm Gardens is a magical place where nature and literature blend seamlessly to create an enriching experience for children and families. Designed to inspire a love for reading and the outdoors, this garden offers a unique opportunity for kids to dive into their favorite storybooks within a real-life setting.

One of the highlights is the enchanting treehouse inspired by The Magic Treehouse series, nestled among the trees in the woodland area. Nearby, the Japanese teahouse and garden, based on One Leaf Rides the Wind and Sadako and the Thousand Cranes, invites visitors to explore a tranquil space filled with woodland plants. Children can venture into the cabin from Little House in the Big Woods, bringing the pioneering spirit of Laura Ingalls Wilder to life.

The garden is also home to a lively pond area known as McElligot’s Pool. This charming spot captivates with its wooden bridge, rope railing, and aquatic life. Children will love spotting fish and exploring this serene environment. Meanwhile, the Memory Area offers a delightful stroll through a butterfly garden, perfect for those who appreciate vibrant colors and gentle fluttering wings.

Animal lovers will be thrilled by the critter-friendly corners of the garden. At the Dinosaur Bones area, budding archaeologists can dig for fossils, while Horton Hatches the Egg features a giant tree where Horton guards his eggs. There's also a chance to encounter plants with animal names in the Is Your Mama a Llama section, and kids will enjoy the challenge of keeping Harry the Dirty Dog clean.
