Grand Traverse Area (GTA) Children's Garden

Mission: To educate and inspire youth through hands-on gardening programs emphasizing nutrition

Established in 1999 on the lake side of the Traverse Area District Library’s Main Branch (Woodmere), the garden focuses on teaching children, but is open to visitors of all ages for wandering and inspiration.

The GTA Children’s Garden programs emphasize nutrition. These programs offer an opportunity for children to learn about sustainability, leadership, and life skills, while serving as good stewards protecting our community and the environment. A non-profit focused on youth development through gardening & programs from roots to mouth.
