Bookworm Gardens
Bookworm Gardens is a vibrant, playful children's garden that enhances literature, the natural world, and the imagination.
Located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the garden is adjacent to UW Sheboygan and is across from the UW Extension offices which house the Sheboygan County Master Gardeners.
The two acre garden offers the young and young at heart the opportunity for free, unstructured play in a beautiful and secure environment.
The Bookworm Gardens Concept
The garden is based completely on children's literature-over 60 different books are represented, selected by reading specialists, librarians, teachers, and kids.
Entrance to the garden is FREE. We hope children visit frequently!
Special elements of the garden include outdoor classrooms, a small amphitheater , greenhouse and outdoor creation station.
Nooks and crannies for reading are plentiful, as are benches for resting and chatting.
The garden celebrates our diverse geographical region as well as our multicultural residents and local industries.
Bookworm Gardens is a grass roots community project, offering residents of all ages, incomes and races the opportunity for involvement. Building benches, stuffing envelopes, sponsoring fund-raising presentations, creating works of art-these are just a few of the ways to get involved.
Our Gardens
The garden is divided into six areas, called Gateways, that are organized by theme. Books for each area are laminated and stored inside a stone book pillar at the entrance of each Gateway. Visitors are welcome to read these books while interacting in each area. Please return them to the book pillar before moving on to the next Gateway.
