  • This park sits across the street from the Houston Natural Science Museum. Outside the Garden was a cart selling ice cream and parking. As seen in the photos the garden is beautifully landscaped and there is plenty of seating to sit and enjoy in different spots throughout the garden. Lots of spots to sit and eat a meal in fact there are even tables, vending machines and restrooms on the far end of the garden. A lot of the garden is in the open sun but there are many shady areas to help stay cool. The fountains and other water elements are gorgeous and relaxing to watch. This garden would be a great place photos.
  • Nice Garden that's a part of the collection at Hermann Park. Came on an early Sunday morning, it was very quiet and not crowded at all. You enter to a nice set of head sculptures before arriving to the Mount. The Mount is a nice spiral walk up a little hill that has a waterfall until you reach the top. Once at the top, you have a nice view of the Garden, but also of other parts of Hermann Park. The Garden had a nice vegetable and flower garden you could casually walk around. There is also a pavilion where looks like they offer free classes to the public. This was a nice free Garden to see how to properly grow various vegetables and flowers.
