About Bookworm Gardens

Just seven minutes from Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan, WI, Bookworm Gardens is a vibrant and playful botanical garden based on children's literature. Enriching for the mind, body, and spirit, the 70 different gardens are open May through October.

The young and young-at-heart can explore two acres of garden space for unstructured play in a beautiful and secure environment. Explore your favorite children's books, brought to life one garden at a time. Hop aboard the magic school bus, meet the three bears, and create your own world with Harold and a purple crayon.

Open for General Admission beginning May 1st, 2024. Register online or at the gate for a general visit and spend your day wandering around the gardens between 10am-4pm (May, September, October) and 9am-5pm (June-August).
