The Sarah.P Duke Gardens

'The Duke Gardens' provides a place where people of all backgrounds and ages come for beauty, education, horticulture, solitude, discovery, study, renewal and inspiration.
The Garden, often spoken of as the "Crown Jewel of Duke University," occupies 55 acres in the heart of the University's West Campus, adjacent to Duke University Medical Center.
It is recognized as one of the premier public gardens in the United States, renowned both for landscape design and the quality of horticulture, each year attracting more than 300,000 visitors from all over the world. (... from the Web pages of Duke Gardens.)


Some pictures from the garden during my recent visit.


Guess. What time Did I visit the Garden?
