Children's Garden

Woodmere opened its new Children’s Garden on the grounds of the Museum on Sunday, September 18. For six years, Woodmere’s Summer Arts Community Program has collaborated with children from differing ages, ethnicities and neighborhoods to construct a major work of art.

Monsters, Myths, and Magic

The 2011 project Monsters, Myths, and Magic brought together 29 children and young adults, ages 8-22, for two weeks, to create mythical creatures and monsters. Under the direction of Woodmere educator and artist Hildy Tow students designed and built fanciful wooden creatures, a giant bird’s nest, jeweled stepping stones, birds, birdhouses and butterflies, all installed amongst the flower beds in the Children’s Garden.
