We have strolled these gardens many times. The plants are beautiful and the grounds a very well kept. Even during the worst of the draught the gardens were a beautiful place to spend an afternoon or evening.

Lovely array of seasonal flowers, plants and flowering trees, with fountains of course (this is the City of Fountains). Masterfully landscaped, it is a joy to the eye and peace to the soul. Across the street at the Kaufmann Foundation is a relaxing walking trail. It's a nice place to spend some time. Everything is flat so it's a good... More

Amazing free garden that was just starting to bloom! While there we saw 3 wedding parties and about a dozen prom groups taking pictures.

I have visited here several times with my daughter. We have met for a picnic lunch during her workday. It is a lovely oasis near the Country Club Plaza. There is ample parking and it is wheelchair accessible as we took our elderly grandmother one visit. The plantings change every season and it is just delightful to walk along the... More

This is a spot to recharge and relax! Plus, I get lots of gardening ideas. It's a small, beautiful garden just E of the Plaza but don't try to walk along Brush Creek, the goose poop is gross!

Flowers and greenery every where. For being small it packs a punch. Lots of parking and near other great stops. Don't miss this and it is free.

This is very walkable and an enjoyable visit for anyone. It's not so large so it won't take up a lot of time, but there is plenty to see, especially the resident cat who is quite friendly! All the plants are labeled and it's a very scenic area close to the Plaza.

I love to go in all seasons and see the changing exhibits. It is so close to the Plaza and doesn't take long to stop by and take a little break there.
