Activities for Children

We love to have young visitors at Lake Lure Flowering Bridge Gardens. The Education Center and the gardens offer lots of interactive nature explorations for children. Kids can explore the themed gardens and experience nature first hand.

The Education Center

We offer classes, demonstrations, hands-on workshops and activities for children. Educational exhibits on gardening, attracting pollinators, reptiles and native plants are available when we are open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

The Peter Rabbit Garden

Beatrix Potter’s time-honored stories about Peter Rabbit, his family, and Mr. McGregor is the inspiration of the Peter Rabbit garden. In this garden, visitors will find a tic tac toe game, herb and vegetable gardens, and a special “Please touch the plants” garden for children of all ages.

The Woodland Fairy Garden

Children love the whimsical fairy garden made by our volunteers Fairies, gnomes and all of what comes with them in their world adorn these tree trunk gardens. Plants wind through to create a woodland world for the fairies.
