Hi. We are in the process of planning an exhibit for toddlers and their 
caregivers. The exhibit involves a wooded path and forest floor complete 
with soft toys, nature sounds, etc. We are looking for a source for replica 
trees (we were hoping to have trees found in Ohio--e.g. maple, elm buckeye, 
oak) as well as flower and shrubbery. We are looking, of course, to make 
this exhibit as safe and "soft" as possible. While I would prefer that the 
materials look very realistic, some of my committee members are also 
interested in giving the forest an animated look as well. For example, 
flowers with smiles, etc. I hope this makes sense. I did see one company in 
California called Naturemaker. They have beautiful sculptures but this will 
most likely not be within budget. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am 
also looking for floor covering that resembles grass but that is softer than 
the regular turf I have seen. I hope I offered enough information. Thanks.

Liz
