These botanical garden are beautiful and easily accessible. The University provides free parking on the weekends in designated spots on Craver Rd. I came to the gardens on Sunday morning and was amazed by how much is in bloom given the season. The department that manages the gardens seems to do an excellent job maintaining the space and keeping it beautiful year round. There are some nice "extras" in the gardens - a pond, a gazebo, some neat art and statues. I recommend visiting the gardens!
