Efficient use of space is everything with the renovation of The Children's Museum of Wilmington. Keyhole gardens use less square footage than traditional vegetable gardens. For great instruction, go to

Spatially, the nooks and crannies provided by a keyhole garden are perfect for young children.

Order from chaos! Careful measuring and data collection and diligent and accurate entry into computer aided design will result in a true to life base map that design concepts and a subsequent landscape design can be created.

It isn't hard... it just takes a little skill and a lot of self discipline... But the end result is worth every bit of effort!
