Leonard S. Fiore, Inc. was the Prime General Contractor for the Children’s Garden addition. The garden is designed for children and families to learn about and enjoy the natural world. Every feature and structure is designed to facilitate learning and exploration. A free-standing stone veneer wall sits near one edge of the garden, and a Discover Tree made of rebar and shotcrete stands near a 24-foot cloche made of steel and glass windows with a cupola perched on top. Poured concrete surfaces complement large sandstone pathways and whimsical concrete figurines.
