   This small garden has a conservatory with tropical plants, a greenhouse with collections of plants from the same families, a pond, and hillside plantings with a waterfall.

   After seeing the garden follow the John Pat Dorrian Trail to the Robert D. Ray Asian Gardens, a tiny garden with a Chinese pavilion. The trail continues south to the city center and north to connect to another trail. We didn’t go very far on it because of trail construction work.

   Everything except the hillside garden is accessible.

   The parking lot is large enough for any RV.  Museum  41.59626, -93.61443
