Located in middle of campus, this garden is a nice surprise. The paths are tucked away enough that you forget you are on campus. It’s very small, but a peaceful short walk with benches for relaxing.

Very quiet. Peaceful. Not to crowded considering it on a collage campus. You can definitely feel away from it all and your a few minutes walk back to the campus or roadways. Cool stream with fish, a very nice old fountain, lots of different species of plants, and a pond where the turtles congregate, lots of bird butterfly garden was lacking butterflies. They also have the first school house in melbourne. Was all really nice and it's free check it out if you need a little quiet time.

Very nice day if already in town or a local. Would not make a point of destination. Very peaceful area however not well marked so we criss-crossed around a lot.
