THE CHILDREN'S SENSORY GARDEN GRAND OPENING
August 10, 2025
After six years in the making the Children's Sensory Garden (CSG) had its "Grand Opening" on Sunday, August 10. It all started with a vision by The Friendly Garden Club of Traverse City to create a living legacy for our community. With help from Mark Polinko, our landscape architect, and our collaboration with The Botanic Garden, the CSG finally became a reality yesterday. The Friendly Garden Club and The Botanic Garden are extremely happy for all of you who helped us along the way! Please come and enjoy this beautiful space, and let us be proud of what we created!
