These gardens do more than just expose youngsters to outdoor environments. They also provide marvelous teaching opportunities for children to care for vegetables and flowers and interact in creative spaces designed to stimulate all five senses. In The Magic of Children's Gardens, landscape architect Lolly Tai provides the primary goals, concepts, and key considerations for designing outdoor spaces that are attractive and suitable for children, especially in urban environments. Tai presents inspiring ideas for creating children's green spaces by examining nineteen outstanding case studies, including the Chicago Botanic Garden, Winterthur, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The Magic of Children's Gardens features hundreds of comprehensive drawings and exquisite photographs of successful children's outdoor environments, detailed explanations of the design process, and the criteria for creating attractive and engaging gardens for children to augment their physical, mental, and emotional development. Exposing youth to well-planned outdoor environments promotes our next generation of environmental stewards. The Magic of Children's Gardens offers practitioners a guide to designing these valued spaces." -- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a United States Botanic Garden $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Children's gardens $x Design. 650 0 $a Children's gardens $z United States. 650 0 $a Botanical gardens $z United States. 650 0 $a Gardens $x Design. 650 0 $a Garden structures. 941 $a 1 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524010648.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F83F846A199211EFAA2C9EE853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
