Children's Garden: Hey Kids,
Phil and Rhoda Dendron have planted a garden to honor Native Americans!
Visit this enchanting and delightful children’s garden honoring Native Americans who once occupied the Eastern forests of North America. Every child’s imagination is sparked while pretending to be a Native American boy or girl, hunting, gathering or farming plants for food. Discover how Indians traveled, farmed and used plants for food, medicine and utilitarian purposes.

Children's Day One of Brookside Gardens largest special events, Children's Day is offered annually on the third Saturday in September. All activities are free of charge thanks to the Friends Of Brookside Gardens and other local sponsors. Entertainment and hands-on activities fill the day from 11am-4pm and are located throughout several garden areas.
