The children's garden has several creative displays to intrigue and educate kids, and was supplemented by lots of fun props during the Garden Fair.

The spinners and weavers, located adjacent to the Dye Garden which contains numerous plants that can be used for fabric dyes, is always a popular demonstration at the Garden Fair.

Weavers showed how wool is dyed with plants from the Dye Garden.

The 2000 Garden Fair featured a series of "patios" designed to show homeowners some possibilities for creating a small, but inviting, space with container gardening.
