This Garden serves an important function as part of the Learning Campus at the Chicago Botanic Garden. It allows children the opportunity for hands-on gardening and interaction with plants. In keeping with garden design standards, the project also models sustainable features, such as photovoltaic and hot water solar panels, and a rainwater harvesting system. A simple interpretation program of signage supports the learning function of the Garden that is also fully accessible.
