Highfield Discovery Garden at Glenwood Gardens


The Highfield Discovery Garden at Glenwood Gardens Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, is one of my kids' favorite places to visit in the summer.  It features a 25-foot tall Discovery Tree which kids can climb and discover all kinds of hidden animals and treasures.  My personal favorite is Grandma's Scent Garden which contains many fragrant plants and herbs.  There's also a Wizard's garden, a Vegetable Garden, a Trolley Garden (sure to be a hit for train lovers), a frog pond (my son's favorite), and a Fairy Garden.


The garden is open from May 1st to August 31st.  Admission is $4.00  for adults and $3.00 for children.

    1. The children's garden is a beautiful place, but there is also a larger garden that adults would enjoy.
