SWA Group provided landscape architectural services
for this Children’s Museum. Site design included the
perimeter planting scheme for the museum and
parking lot as well as the courtyard. As an extension of
the original project, SWA also designed the landscape
perimeter of a one-block, two-level parking structure.
Amenities include play areas for toddlers and older
children defined by a topiary humpy hedge and
meandering path. Fruit orchards, a “farming” area, and
a pine and cypress tree grove provide an educational
and meaningful environment in which the children
play and explore.
