The Children’s Garden Project of Elwood
Mission and Purpose:
 The Children’s Garden Project, founded in 1997, in cooperation with the Village of Elwood, Elwood School District and Jackson Township provides an enlightening and educational experience for the young and the young at heart who enjoy nature and gardening. The garden is dedicated to enrich the minds, hands and hearts of all who share a common bond with nature. Our Garden offers daily exploration that invites play and interaction with the natural environment.
Please respect our community garden when visiting and observe
the following guidelines:
- Parents/Grown-ups please stay with children at all times.
- The Garden picnic area is available for groups smaller than 10. All others call the village to reserve Park Pavilion.
- Stay on paths to protect the plant life.
- Pets, bicycles, skateboards, smoking and alcohol are not permitted in the garden.
- Flowers and vegetables are for display purposes only.
- Clean up areas after use.
Thank you for your cooperation in caring for the Children’s Garden.
