Breaking Ground at the Children’s Garden on Grand Cayman

At 10:00AM on Wednesday, August 16, at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park ground was broken on the Children’s Garden.

It was a very special day for the organisers says Shayma Hamdi-Romanica, ([email protected]) as they come closer to completion.

Notes:

The Garden is scheduled to be completed in 2018.

There will be a grow zone, where every school will have a small section to grow plants; a play zone, and a classroom.

The Children’s Garden will be a place for our kids to learn about nature, through play.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen!

We are one step closer to bringing out children closer, to nature!
