A Place For Wonder
Meet the Owner/Director
Tiffany Deschler
Let me introduce myself. I am an avid outdoors woman who grew up in a time when being outside was a normal part of childhood. Digging in the dirt, building with clay, racing pill bugs, building ramps to ride bikes off of, collecting insects, shooting marbles, building forts and more.
I have two grown children that I loved watching spend time in nature, swimming in a pond, catching bullfrogs, gardening, puddle jumping and more. With my grandchild, I am now making sure he has all the same opportunities. I have not only lived the benefits of nature myself but have seen it in both my children and grandchild.
