点评:Visited these gardens on a sunny Friday afternoon when we were in town to attend a concert a The Ledge Amphitheater that evening. The gardens are FREE, and they were stunning! Beautiful shade gardens along the Mississippi River, with hostas and various shade loving plants, growing in large clusters of color. Gorgeous! A feast for the eyeballs! Rose gardens and formal gardens were the nicest we’ve seen anywhere, including at the Chicago Botanical Gardens, earlier this summer. Split a yummy chicken salad sandwich that we purchased at the gift shop (where end of season sale got us 50% off everything in store), and sat in the shady deck to eat it. If you are a gardener, or just a plant enthusiast, and live near St Cloud, highly recommend this place as a very pleasant day trip! We spent over 2 hours there and would’ve spent longer had we had more time. Very enjoyable visit to a place I’d NEVER hear of prior to our visit. We can certainly understand why it’s the #1 attraction in St Cloud!
