| book description |

Since its opening in 1999, the Hershey Childrenâ€™s Garden at Cleveland Botanical Garden has been considered one of the best of the new public childrenâ€™s gardens that are being built throughout the country. Hershey Childrenâ€™s Garden: A Place to Grow celebrates the beauty, joy, delight, and horticultural and design excellence found within this special place. Maureen Heffernan tells the story of how the garden was developedâ€”from initial idea, to guiding philosophy, to its design, development, and opening day. Readers will gain an understanding of this ambitious garden, whose goal was no less than to create a half-acre urban Eden for children. The stunning color photography of Ian Adams, Janet Century, and Sara Guren brings to life this very active garden in all its creative glory and captures children and visitors of all ages interacting and delighting in the garden. Through the example of the Hershey Childrenâ€™s Garden, Heffernan shows that childrenâ€™s gardens across the nation represent a new and exciting type of garden. Not just simple gardening plots, these new million-dollar-plus childrenâ€™s gardens are a breakthrough gardening concept that appears destined to join such categories as the rose garden, the herb garden, and the Japanese garden. Hershey Childrenâ€™s Garden documents and celebrates the planting of one such influential garden, the fruit of a remarkable vision in Cleveland.
