Stones with words painted on them are spread out in the literacy garden as the newest garden at Gardens on Green prepares for opening. The goal of the new garden is to teach youngsters a love for nature and reading. A shed will be stocked with books for children from preschool through second grade. Books will be about gardening, nature and children’s classics.
Four-year-old Eden Pethel gave one of the first tours at the new literacy garden at Gardens on Green. Eden, who aspires to be a Master Gardener when she’s old enough, found an earthworm and “showed it around.” She unveiled the various features of the garden, including a fairy house.
