Tarrywile Park Children's Garden is located in Danbury, Connecticut. It is a one-acre site that is part of the Danbury City Park. Landscape designer, Jane Didona, was inspired by the book, Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak when she created the garden in 2000. Children can have fun playing in the troll house, and hunting for frogs, butterflies, and dragonflies in the fish pond and along the paths lined with tall grasses.
When you are finished in the garden, you may want to explore some of the 21 miles of trails that are part of the park system. There's also a lovely Victorian-style mansion on the grounds that can be rented for events.
The garden is open year round from sunrise to sunset. Admission is free.
beautiful garden
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's a lovely little place for children to play.
DeleteYour pic is deceiving! ;) I couldn't tell you had hair long enough to fishtail. But you can do it!
ReplyDeleteActually, that pic was from 2 years ago. My hair has grown quite a bit since! I'll keep trying the fishtail. I'll let you know if I ever get it.
Deletei love the thought of the dragonflies and the victorian mansion :)
ReplyDeleteThe Victorian mansion is really pretty. It's a nice place for a wedding.
DeleteSounds like a wonderful place to visit. The little house in the first picture is cute.
ReplyDeleteThat's the troll house. Kids have fun trying to find the troll around that thing.
