The garden’s pronounced seasonal nature offers brilliant bulbs in spring, eye-popping annuals in summer, and showy fall foliage, berries, and bark textures. There’s even a waterfall and small pond.
The richly detailed entry garden is a comfortable resting stop whether you’ve arrived by foot, by bike, or by bus, and it’s open 24 hours a day. Between the dozens of rare and remarkable specimen trees and the climb-able abstract sculpture, there’s something for every garden guest and University Circle neighbor.
