Developed in collaboration with the Ithaca Childbearing Loss Network, this Garden features a diverse array of blooming bulbs and perennials, a winding stone pathway that is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, sculptures created by local artists, a central flowering redbud tree, and a peace pole inscribed with “Hope, Peace, Love, and Remembrance” in 15 languages. Stone benches provide a place for reflection.
The Garden offers a unique opportunity for visitors to engage with vibrant blooms, whether seeking contemplation and solace or joyful exploration. Each path invites personal journeys of healing and remembrance.

Faces of Philanthropy
Why do you love & support The Garden?
Photographer Sarah Clapp asked this question to some of ICG’s incredible members, partners, and Garden enthusiasts, and the outcome was simply beautiful. The resulting exhibition, Photographing Philanthropy for the Love of Humanity, debuted at ICG’s 2017 Annual Celebration and perfectly encapsulates the role of the Garden in the lives and hearts of ICG devotees.

“I was born and raised in Ithaca and I was looking for a way to give back to the community, a friend was on the board of the garden and I was intrigued by working with children to get them out into the natural world. Being part of educating a generation on the importance and wonder of the natural world is one of the many reasons I became involved with the garden.”

“My involvement with the Ithaca Children’s Garden started many years ago. I was able to work with the team involved, and I realized quickly that the team was very passionate which was inspiring. From the team, to the enjoyment I see in the faces of the children who explore it, being outdoors and interacting with nature, that connection with the natural world is amazing to see.”

“I know how much my children love the Garden, and I feel like the Garden is a place where I can contribute my unique skills to add to the already existing magic. I can see how the passion of the staff helps to make that magic happen which is one of the many reasons I love being a part of it.”
