Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden

We were a little too late for large displays of  flowers  but we really enjoyed this garden with its meandering paths and themed gardens. The newly constructed Prairie Castle Playground is a big draw for families. A path leads through the woods to very creative play areas using natural materials such as hollow trees, bamboo, and stacked rocks. Colorful orchids and tropical plants fill the conservatory.

While most of the paths are paved and the path through the woods is hard packed the garden is not accessible without the help of a strong assistant due to the very hilly terrain.  

RVs will fit in the parking lot if backed up over the grass or parked lengthwise through the spaces.  Garden  35.16939, -81.05733
