“I made the trek with my stroller and baby to Bookworm Gardens in Sheboygan, WI. This magical botanical garden is full of whimsy and charm. Throughout the gardens, there are themed areas that match and display popular children’s books. I loved the Goldilocks-themed garden area with the three chairs and Three Little Pigs with three tiny houses. Books can be found tucked behind doors in pillars throughout. Gardening and reading are enriching activities.”

“Sure, I visit botanical gardens to get away from some of life’s stresses. But that’s also why my wife and I have spent years turning our backyard into another living space of our home. So it makes sense that our botanical garden trips have a little sense of personal purpose: how do we take some of these places home with us?”
