The new Play and Grow Garden v1.0 at the Garfield Park Conservatory is the first of a two-phase project to engage children in play with the natural environment. The natural playground contains a hand pump and water runnel, boardwalk, exploratory dig area, living structures, council rings, and discovery gardens. The design also incorporates elements from neighborhood artists, including a hammock-hanging structure, tree carvings, and custom furnishings.
