Activities & Educational Resources

The Friends of the Topiary Park have developed several useful resources to enhance your experience. The Friends can also arrange for a docent-led tour. Please feel free to print out the following items:

• Self-Guided Tour: provides the location for an optimal point to get the “artist’s view” and fun facts about the park, its history and the painting that inspired the topiaries.
• Tree Walk: provides a map of the park noting the location and a brief description of 25 diverse trees within the park.
• Educator’s Package: provides detailed resources and activities that are particularly useful for educators but can be used by everyone.
