This is the best place to get close to nature in Springfield. It's not a big area in terms of acreage, but there are so many trails that you could walk for miles.

We visited here in March and even though there was snow on the ground it was still a beautiful walk.

I like to see and get information on various flowers in Illinois. Great work BEING DONE BY LOCAL TALENT

This is a great location to spend some peaceful time walking around or just sitting among all of the different trees and plants etc. You can see that a lot of work went into establishing the Garden and a lot of work is done to maintain it nicely.
