    Beautiful garden. Small and very easy to navigate. Located in a neighborhood with limited parking. Great for a break from a hectic day.

    Lovely and free sunken gardens are a Lincoln Highlight you should not miss. My favorite part was the koi fish pond. They have benches to sit on an take in the view. It was not crowded when we went...

    This place never disappoints! So much work goes in to making it a lovely place. Year around. Spring is my favorite season, but I live out of town and fortunately missed the crocus, daffodils, and hyacinths. I was lucky to have caught my favorite flowers, tulips, still in bloom. Stop by if you are ever in the area and need a little nature lift.

    They impress me every year. They plant a wide variety of plants and flowers to create a gorgeous and serene spot in the heart of Lincoln. If you're looking for one of the most beautiful places in town for a small wedding, this is it! I had mine there, and the photos turned out even better than I hoped.
