Bookworm Gardens

Bringing Children's Literature to Life

Once upon a time, an idea blossomed in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Sandy Livermore envisioned a magical place where children could step into their favorite stories. This dream took root and grew into Bookworm Gardens, a vibrant botanical garden that celebrates children's literature. Open from May through October, the Gardens feature over 80 unique gardens, each inspired by beloved children's books.
