A few days ago, I attended the Fall Gardeners’ Festival near Crossville, Tennessee. This event was sponsored by Cumberland County Master Gardeners, University of Tennessee AgResearch, and UT Extension. I thoroughly enjoyed the day, learned a lot, and came away with lots of new inspiration for my garden. If you’re interested in attending this event next year, visit the Cumberland County Master Gardeners web site to stay informed… ccmga.org
I’ve posted some photos of their Kinder Garden below; some neat ideas to incorporate seating, play, and discovery areas for children in and around your garden.

Beans are handy for picking in the tunnel; a nice shady spot for kids to hide or play.
