The Alice H. Richards Children's Garden is an exploration and a journey, not something you just walk through. Everything is designed with attention to detail and an interactive, educational component. The children's garden is free and open to the public and is an interactive outdoor classroom for hands-on education. Unlike any other in the Southeast, it is an experience crafted in layers, for children to explore under, around and through.
Covid Update, May 6 2021: The Alice H. Richards Children’s Garden is open for play and exploration from 7 AM - 7 PM daily! Online timed reservations are no longer needed. Please refer to the Children's Garden Information page for tips to keep in mind.
