In 1996, the Erickson Water Garden opened as the first of the Botanical Gardens' displays.

This part of the meadow garden is home to bird and butterfly plants (including a Buddleia collection), wildflowers and ornamental grasses. Relax on benches and enjoy the sound of water tumbling over falls in the background.

Color peaks here in mid-summer. The combination of color, water and our Garden Bell fills the senses.
