Create your own secret garden for your kids right in your own backyard!

When we grew up, there were limited options for outside play equipment, unless you were at the playground at your elementary school.  Most of the time as kids, we made use of sticks, rocks, and anything else mother nature would give we and played happily for hours.  Then came the playgrounds at places like McDonalds and Chickfila and superstores like Swingset direct! Plastic sadly replaced nature.

What if we could create a backyard oasis that combined fun and education while getting back to nature? Have you been to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square?  They have a wonderful example of a childrens botanical garden.   
At Ninebark Landscaping, one of our specialties is creating a private botanical garden design or outdoor space just for your child.  



Look at these 4 wonderful ideas to create a place for your child full of learning, 
imaginative play and hours of fun!


1. A magical fairy garden


The spring brings a plethora of delights from budding trees and flowers to butterflies and lady bugs.  Capture this magic in a tiny fairy garden for your son or daughter.  Ninebark Landscaping can create a miniature wonderland with tiny flowering plants, stones and fairy magic.  Don't have a good space for a fairy garden?  How about a container?  We can help design it!

Don't you just LOVE these gardens?


2.  Create a hands-on sensory environment like a letter garden or rainbow garden.  

When planning your garden landscape design, Ninebark Landscaping can incorporate learning on a variety of levels.  How about a garden that has larger then life, carved blocks with letters on them to identify certain plants or vegetables.  For example, T for Tulips or L for lettuce.  We can create a garden theme and incorporate letter blocks that are custom carved and 
painted from 18x18 wood beams.


How about a touch and smell garden with lavender, basil and lambs ear and butterfly bushes?


Have you ever seen a ROY-G-BIV garden? 
Red= tomatoes, O= Oregano Y= Yellow squash...and so on.  
We can plant for you or just design the garden so you can enjoy the planting and growing experience along side your child.

3. Private retreat for kids: 

Every kid wants a secret outdoor place to call their own.  Here are a few examples of what Ninebark Landscaping can do to create a personal "secret garden".  We can customize any nook and cranny to become a special place.  Whether we add a small vintage gate, or a table and chairs made of logs, 
or create a dwarf entrance at the base of a tree- 
we can turn your backyard into an imagination wonderland!

4.  For the active kids:  

There are plenty of options for the kiddos who love to run and play!  Think outside the box to foster your childs imagination.  Do they like horses?  
How about a re-purposed tire swing made into a horse shape?  
Do you have a kid who loves to climb?  We can make a custom climbing wall to fit any landscaping scheme and fill in with soft mulch for safety.  
Sandboxes come in all shapes and sizes.  If you can dream it, we can do it!
