A lovingly maintained two-acre garden—free daily—filled with seasonal plantings and Tom Corbin bronzes. Often highlighted in local and national travel pieces, it’s a serene pause between the museums and the Plaza.

Beautiful Location First time here before Christmas light went up, there was some vegetation still vibrant inside the main facility. The Garden Cat who I’ve been told is the guardian was completely asleep inside the sunroom. Beautiful location can’t image what it looks like in the summer

Free garden near the plaza. Plenty of shaded areas and places to sit and enjoy the calm garden. Well-kept grounds and beautiful, colorful plants. We went in early October and we're able to see the monarch butterflies as they migrate south for the winter. Portrait sessions are not allowed. Be sure to see the cat in the greenhouse!

Even on a windy, cold early morning, the garden is beautiful. I stepped inside the atrium to sit and read, and was surprised to see a sleeping cat in the corner. I was greeted by the friendly groundskeeper and enjoyed the quiet and warmth inside. As I was minding my business, I heard a meow and a jingle, and before I knew it the kitty had walked over to me and jumped on the bench, just to then stretch and curl up to fall asleep again. I have never felt more joy in my life!

The memorial garden is absolutely beautiful in the spring time, summer and fall. There are lots of flowers and they keep it well maintained constantly. We will often go here when doing an outing to the plaza as well.

We had a wonderful time at the park during our recent visit. The space is clean, well-maintained, and offers a relaxing atmosphere that’s perfect for gatherings, walks, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The surrounding nature and thoughtful layout make it a great spot for families and community events. Overall, it was a refreshing and enjoyable experience — we look forward to coming back soon!

The location is quiet and peaceful with lots of water fountains to go with the ambience! It holds TONS of gorgeous plants and an adorable cat named Busy! He seems to usually be in the greenhouse snoozing, but he's a very kind kitty when he's up and around. Overall a very beautiful location! Go here at least once!

Great visit even when most plants are starting to turn brown outside they keep the garden kept with vibrant colors of mums.

This pmaceis small but FANTASTIC. My daughter and I went over the weekend, and we loved every second of it. There is a lot of seating to just hang out and chat. Clean restrooms and water fountain.
