Brookside School Children’s Garden

The Brookside Children’s Garden at Cranbrook Educational Community invites students to have a first-hand interaction with nature while exploring science, art, storytelling, and play. Its granite pavers and cubes, etched with native species and historic quotes, meander along a woodland landscape that is designed to invite exploration of the natural world, inspire hands-and-knees investigation, and support outdoor learning.
