Bookworm gardens

Ok, so there is a super cool book garden not to far from where we live! I never knew, until at a group meeting one lady mentioned she wanted to build one here. I thought to myself - I gotta see what its all about.


First just outside they have a bus - a magic school bus!


It has legs and antena put onto it just like the book where they learn about bugs.


Then you walk into the entrance. All the exhibits have three things.
1. some sort of plant or display (hey its a garden
2. based on a children's book
3. sign with book title


Picture frames to stand or climb through


Music instruments to play with



Plant a rainbow book - with cool chairs.


Fairy mushrooms


Puff the magic dragon, made of cement and glass


the three bears - topiary


Three big chairs


Little house in the big woods (little house on the prairie series)



Emma has no idea how to wear a bonnet


The boys loved the wagon


Sudako and the 1000 cranes book. A little japanese tea house!



Complete with zen garden


Winnie the Pooh's house


Peter Rabbit


Our kids favorite - plant a garden. They got to water plants (I sure hope the plants are hardy - they got watered a lot that day) and next to apple trees for Johnny Appleseed


An old typewriter from Click, Clack Moo


Charlotte's Web


Digging for dinosaurs - our kids loved this one too.


The three little pigs. Our kids loved this one the most. They got into the houses and pretended they were piggies. Emma was the wolf.

Emma the wolf.

Along the way there was little book shelves, each with copies of books you could sit and read. I loved it. It was pretty cool.
