This life size giraffe is one of the many creature creations in the Green Animals Topiary Garden.  This whimsical garden is the oldest and most northern topiary garden in the United States and is the backdrop for Chris VanAllsburg's children's book, The Garden of Abdul Gasazi. Take the book out of your local library and bring it with you to read to your children or grand children as you wander around the 7 acre garden finding all the animals in the story.
