Bookworm Gardens is an imaginative, independent nonprofit organization that makes this experience a reality for kids in Wisconsin, day in and day out. Their space, a beautiful botanic garden, is inspired by “children's literature, the natural world, and the imagination” and gives children of all backgrounds a chance to experience some of the elements of their favorite stories in real life.
This week on The GoGedders Podcast, host Richie Burke is joined by Sandy Livermore, Elizabeth Wieland, and Cate Tinker — the Gardens’ founder, Executive Director, and Director of Education & Community Programming, respectively. Listen in to hear all about how Bookworm Gardens got started, how the space inspires children (and children at heart!) through nature and hands-on storytelling, and more.
