The story and a tour of Clark Gardens Botanical Park.

Clark Gardens Botanical Park welcomes visitors all year long. The breathtaking 35-acre oasis awakens the senses, stirs the spirit and relaxes the mind. From the first spring blossoms to the colorful fall and into the stillness of winter, there is a sense of magic. Wheelchair accessible pathways wind through lavish ribbons of color and fragrance.

Waterfalls sparkle in the sunlight, splashing down into ponds and lakes where black and white swans, along with other waterfowl, glide in the shimmering waters. You may see peacocks strutting, or get a glimpse of blue herons or great egrets swooping down, their huge wingspans casting shadows over the lakes. Join us and experience the beauty of nature, all four seasons of the year.

Tour the Gardens

From self-guided tours to group tour programs, at Clark Gardens you will find the perfect fit for your visit. The group tour programs are great for your garden or nature club, school, church, family, business or other organization. A variety of menu options are available to compliment your trip. See general admission and group tour information.
