updated:  so, while it may not be the same,
it looks like we’ll have a children’s garden
a little closer than manitoba!  thanks, mel, for the tip!

if you live in winnipeg, you’ve probably been here.
if you don’t, you’ll wish you could go.
on our trip to visit my grandparents this summer we visited
the newly opened winnipeg children’s garden.
we had a lot of fun as a family,
but i couldn’t stop thinking of how much
my preschoolers would love this place.
so, we took pictures for you:

it was dreamy.
child friendly from the front door.
proof:

it had a balance of natural and high tech play spaces.
foam surfaces and water wheels.
trees to climb and swings that can hold 8 kids.
hills to climb with and without foot holds.
slides and willow tunnels.
drums and banging walls.

oh, my dear preschoolers:
we would have so. much. fun. here!

we’ll just have to see how much we can create in our own space!
