Sensitive Plant
The Special Child's Garden features a raised bed for disabled children... they too can garden. Lift the little doors on the side of the planter box to see the buried treasures growing in the soil... carrots, peanuts and white radishes. You can see the roots through the glass side-doors. Touch the mimosa and watch the leaves collapse. Miniature vegetables are also on display. Other plants include:

    Basil 'Mini Greek'
    Basil 'Red Rubin'
    Basil 'Spicy Globe'
    Basil 'Windowbox'
