Seattle Children's Play Garden

Today's garden is something a little different.  The Seattle Children's Play Garden, located in Seattle, Washington, is a garden designed for children with disabilities.  All children, however, are welcome.

The garden was formed in 2002 by Liz Bullard, a speech and language pathologist.  The mission of the garden, as described on their website,  is to "improve the lives of children with physical or mental disablilites by providing them with full access to a safe indoor/outdoor recreation space and offering incusive programs that encourage their potential."

There are several gardens there, which children can explore.  These include an orchard, kitchen garden, butterfly garden, and a wild zone.  There's also a chicken coop and a rabbit hutch, which kids really enjoy.

The garden is open for limited periods of time, based on whatever programs are being offered.  Generally, the hours are Monday through Thursday from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM, and on Friday from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM.
