Children’s Garden at Morton Arboretum

Project Details

Location: Lisle, IL
Installed: 2004
Designer: Morton Arboretum

An early U.S. Richter play space, the Arboretum’s Children’s Garden gives visitors an up-close introduction to trees and plants. Net bridges and tree houses take children on a canopy adventure, a sprawling net crawl lets them hover just above a meadow. A success from the start, the opening of the Children’s Garden increased the Arboretum’s youth programming attendance by 100%.
