Fall has arrived at Wanderwood Gardens, and the surrounding forest seems to be in on the excitement. Crews have been busy carving new walking paths and frame future gathering spaces. Every day, something new appears. A post. A doorway. A curve of path that invites curiosity.
Trails are being formed

Dendy Village Coming to Life
Coming Summer 2026, The Wanderwood Gardens is an enchanting setting for discovery and imaginative play. This new children’s garden will cultivate children’s relationships with the outdoors through interacting with the natural and manmade playgrounds surrounding them. The gardens are filled with a variety of flowers, trees, and plants, with magical activity areas and winding paths that lead to hidden nooks and crannies, creating an active nature’s playground for all ages. The Wanderwood Gardens will be connected to The Dubuque Arboretum and located at 3800 Arboretum Dr in Dubuque, Iowa. Follow @wanderwoodgardens on Facebook and Instagram!
