Spring marks the official start of construction at The Wanderwood Gardens! In March, we broke ground on one of the most talked about features of the garden, Dendy Village.This season also brings the first steps in creating our signature water features, setting the stage for the whimsical fun that is to come. Stay tuned for enchanting updates as we bring our Wanderwood Gardens dreams to life!
Coming Spring 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.
