The Duke Gardens

One of the most beautiful locations on Duke's campus is the Duke Gardens. From open areas to picnic or play games, to secluded regions for walks through the woods, the Gardens have much to offer any visitor.

Though spring and summer certainly bring out the best in the Gardens' plants, beauty can be found throughout the year. More than a simple display of flowers, the Sarah P. Duke Gardens include a wide range of trees, bushes, and shrubs.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, the Gardens are also home to many different animals. Along with the typical squirrels and birds founds in most woodland settings, visiting the Gardens' ponds also will find ducks, geese, turtles, and - of course - fish. The spring and summer tradition of the baby ducklings following their parents around the Gardens is enough to make visiting the Sarah P. Duke Gardens a tradition of your own.
