COVID be hanged, Lake Highlands’ fun spot Curious Garden celebrates its fifth anniversary this month. Brainchild of mother-son duo Terry and Jason Cohen, also proprietors of Lakewood’s Curiosities, Curious Garden incorporates elements of White Rock Lake and the Arboretum, and it features finds from local artists. Traditional antiques can be found among outdoor cement statues, antique signs and outdoor furniture.

The real evolution of Curious Garden has been its foray into rocks and minerals, skulls, fossils, taxidermy, shells and varied books, making it an explorer’s paradise.
