Internationally Acclaimed Over three hundred thousand visitors come to Duke Gardens each year. They come from all over the world to view the majesty of the formal gardens, the tranquility of the Asian Gardens, the serenity of the native gardens and the activity of the Charlotte Brody gardens. Perpetually growing and changing, every season in the garden brings new delights. From parking by the Doris Duke Center pictured above, there are maps for personal exploration, tours (pedestrian and trolley), and a myriad of events for adults and children alike. The
website
http://gardens.duke.edu/
is
an
excellent source for information about nature walks, classes and workshops, musical events, exhibits, Japanese tea ceremonies, and so much more. The garden is a gift to us all. A gift from the Duke family . . . who were agronomists . . . from professors and physicians, and from . . . many, many volunteers and donors.
Memories that have lasted many lifetimes were made
in these gardens. Memories of weddings and joy, memories of respite. We have marveled at intimate views of lotus, coi, ducks, heron
