Nelson -- There is a garden with a very similar concept in operation outside 
of Atlanta. I believe it is called 'Wonderland' and it was featured in the 
Atlanta Journal Constitution in the past year or so.  I can't remember more 
specifics than that other than it was an old dairy farm that the man who 
started it converted into a garden learning center. He does a lot of school 
field trips and other educational programs.  Good luck in your project!
