The Sarah Duke Garden at Duke University is often spoken of as "the crown jewel of Duke University," Duke Gardens occupies 55 acres in the heart of west campus.
Never having been here before we didn't know what to expect. We took a short trail to start out.
We came to a round about with a fountain. We didn't pick up a map and it was well over 100 degrees, so we choose a direction and started out.
This is a hydrangea on the left and on the right crape myrtle.
Addie was at science camp this week and she was learning about bridges, so we took lots of pictures of bridges.
There was a Japanese bridge.
Bob checked out the time on the sun dial.
There were colorful bushes.
There were birds, Blue Heron, ducks
and places to watch birds in the shade.
We walked about a mile then headed to the Gift Shop and air conditioning.
There were pots of flowers
and a beautiful fountain.
There was so much more to see but we needed to bring water and wear our hats, so the rest would have to wait for another day.
