The study involved historical document analysis, and interviews with key informants and staff members. Study themes indicated that the Garden was intentionally designed to provide multiple opportunities and points of entry, and to focus on child-directed experiences of freedom/possibility, engagement/connection, and belonging/community. The Garden was viewed as having a principle-based, self-generating culture, where art is the means by which children engage in the community and with one another. The findings are relevant to service providers who deliver inclusive arts-based programs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
