Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden - Through the eyes of a 3 year old!
Finally, a garden delicated to us - the little people.
What i love about this garden is that everything is mini compact in size - from the cafe set up (little chairs and tables, cool!) down to the toilet facilities (yay! no more oversized toilet bowls that threatens to “swallow” us whole!).
To add to the exclusivity, entry to this garden is restricted to children 0 to 12 years old and any adult who wants a peek into this garden MUST be accompanied by children. This means my presence is really important. No KIDS? Sorry, No entry! Thou shalt not say more and let the pictures do the talking.
Having a whale of a time watering the plants. Hmm.. they must be thristy!
Never too young to learn - the science of photosynthesis
Can somebody please tell me the name of this really stinko flower?
A suspension bridge for the young and adventurous - Not for the faint hearted!
This is how I fetch a ‘pail’ a water - Though not quite the jack and jill way.
Shhh… Do Not Disturb… Little mastro at work
Climbing up a tree house, just like I see in Barney and Friends!
A page out of the Enid Blyton’s “Enchanted Forest”? - Com’on out and play with me, globbins and sprites.
At the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden, Children Rulez and the Adults Don’t Get it!
p/s If any one wanna rent a kid (and a cute one at that), please enquire within.

Interesting idea. A garden that adults can’t enter unless accompanied by children.
