Imagine a space built into the trees along the forest walk, where children of all ages can experience the joys of nature.
Imagine that in that space there were huge horns where visitors can listen to the sounds from the forest and nearby meadow.
Imagine a wagonload of inviting books and puppets ready for play.
Imagine the opportunity to use magnifiers to examine leaves and gourds up close.
Imagine children gathering in that space for stories and finger plays and songs.
That’s how I spent my morning – helping with Family Story Time at Longwood Gardens. What a treat!
Imagine the Possibilities 
We had seen the tree houses when we were there but didn’t investigate them closely. Sounds like the perfect setting for fun activities.

Yes! Longwood Gardens is in southeastern PA, about an hour and a half from Hershey. I am a volunteer there, working mostly in the children’s garden. Hope you can visit!

I want to go there! Your photos are so inviting to me as an adult I can only imagine what kids would say and do seeing this!
Thank you for stretching my imagination.

I love Longwood Gardens. You remind me that it has been a while since I have visited. I need to plan an outing. I think I should find a child to tag along with me, too! How fun that you work there!
