All the plants have animal names that could be heard in the common farmyard. Winnie, the garden\u2019s namesake, presides over the care of the plants and visitors herself. She is a large, graceful pig formed of found metal objects, created and donated by Anne Gibbons. She dances on a big metal ball and beckons to children of all ages to share her delight in this playful plant collection.&nbsp; This list is current as of September 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire-resistant
