Bee-aMazed Children's Garden
A lot of buzzing is going on in our Bee-aMazed Children's Garden located outdoors in Longwood’s Idea Garden! Inspired by honeybees, the Bee-aMazed Garden offers young visitors yet another way to have fun at Longwood. The Garden features three major areas: the Honeycomb Maze, Flower Fountain, and Buzz Trail.
The Honeycomb Maze is composed of hexagonal rooms resembling the cells of a honeycomb. The walls of the rooms are made of yew hedges and vines.
The Flower Fountain allows children to learn about the five basic parts of a flower while splashing their hands in jets of water. The sunny beds surrounding the fountain are filled with colorful displays of seasonal flowers and foliage.
The Buzz Trail invites young children to mimic the flight path of a honeybee.
