In Short – From formal to natural environments, Duke Gardens has many different varieties of native and imported plants, such as the mountain columbine, wisteria and Japanese iris. Find out what's in season, and let the imagination plan one's own garden. Take pets for a walk, throw a Frisbee or just have a quiet picnic with one of the area's best gardens. Keep an eye out for the wisteria growing over the pergola at the main entrance.

beautiful lazy day
by hdevil at Citysearch
Duke gardens is a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Take a book or your studies and spread out on the field. If you have some extra time, wander through the forest paths. Bundle up, take a beau and find a secluded spot. The Gardens are full of visitors in the summer and spring-finding a parking space on the weekend is quite a challange. But the fall colors and brisk air are just as rewarding.
- Pros: beautiful walks

A Must See
by niftynip at Citysearch
Beautiful any time of year... each season brings something new and interesting.
The best time to see the garden is in late May and June because the roses are in full bloom.
- Pros: Free, Beautiful
- Cons: Poor signage
