Children's Garden
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden Children's Garden, the first ever established in a botanical garden and the oldest continuously operating in the world, is still one of the largest such programs in the nation. Eight hundred youngsters now garden in the Children's Garden every year.
In the spirit of the tradition established by Ellen Eddy Shaw and Frances M. Miner (over 90 years ago), the program was expanded some years ago to include even younger children—those from three to six years old. Called KinderGardeners, they combine planting, tending, and harvesting with craftmaking and creative play.
