Woodlands Garden, Botanical garden in Decatur, United States.
Woodlands Garden is a forest garden with native plants spread across about 7 acres in Decatur. Paved paths and wooden bridges wind through the space, with an outdoor amphitheater built from recycled materials for events.
The garden was founded in 2002 when a family donated land to create a nature space. It has grown into a place for education and community connection.
The space serves as a gathering place where neighbors spend time together surrounded by plants and trees. Regular events like concerts and readings draw people of different ages and create opportunities for the community to connect.
The garden is open from early morning until evening and has free parking on-site. Visitors should wear comfortable walking shoes since paths wind through wooded areas that vary with the seasons.
The space features play areas built from fallen tree trunks where children interact directly with natural materials and learn about local ecosystems. These playgrounds show how hands-on contact with nature helps people understand their environment.
