Have you seen the new straw bale Troll House at the Garden?

See how the Troll House was built in this short video.

 

Check out the new permanent design for the Growing Gardens currently under construction.

Gaia the Turtle and the Wetland Habitat Gardens

Located at the southern end of the Garden, you can't miss Gaia and her pond. Feel free to play on Gaia but be careful of the tender, little sedum plants just starting to growing in her plates. Can you find the full moon on Gaia's back?

Growing Gardens

With programs going strong for three years, the Growing Gardens area gets a new permanent design. The Youth Horticulture Apprentices installed the split rail fence that defines the Growing Gardens during the summer of 2007. In November 2007 construction began shaping the pathways and beds of the new area. Look for construction to continue in early spring in time for spring planting and 2008 programs.

Sod Salamander

In May 2007, Cornell student and ICG intern, Danielle Hodgins led a living sculpture at the Garden. Participants learned techniques for created sod sculptures and ICG gained a great addition to the wetlands area.
