The garden also supports educational partnerships and outreach—workshops, guided tours, and volunteer programs that foster environmental awareness. By converting a degraded site into an exemplary botanical garden, Cedar Lakes models how reclamation and design can work hand-in-hand.
Visitor Access, Programming and Events
Since opening to the public in 2014, the garden has offered structured programming: docent-led tours, seasonal events, themed festivals, educational workshops. Signature events include “Christmas in the Quarry” with light displays among the rock walls and lakes.
The site is designed for circulation: walking paths, benches, picnic tables, vantage points. Visitors are encouraged to linger and explore rather than merely pass through. The garden’s layered design invites slow discovery shutdown123
