In the early 1920s, planners were set to create a lake in the valley that is now Duke Gardens. Funds were short back then and they began planting instead. Now, this is one of the most beautiful scenes around. Comprised of three main sections, the original Terraces, the Blomquist Garden of Native plants and the Culberson Asiatic Arboretum, the gardens are a treat all year round but make their best show in spring when the tulips are blooming. Bring a picnic and set out a blanket among the flora or just meditate under a shady tree. Admission is free. Sarah P.Duke Gardens open daily at 8am.

Beautiful gardens. Many different types of trees and flowers. Lily pond, lake and Japanese garden. Great place for a picnic or to take the kids.
 
 
 
 
 
Amazing

One of the great, inexpensive things to do with a family! My children love visiting this attraction...it is very soothing and relaxing. And they host free "Music & a Movie" in the summers.

The Gardens were lovely. The atmosphere is very relaxing. My husband and I enjoyed a walk around the garden. People were very friendly.
