Forget the Quad Cities Botanic Gardens. Vanderveer Park and Conservatory in Davenport Iowa beats it in every way. The Conservatory is filled with beautiful plants, a water garden, working greenhouse and is much more friendly and intimate. There is a Plant Zoo with plants that have animal names and topiary. The Rose garden is filled with award winners and is in bloom late spring until it freezes.There is a shade garden and day lily border. The Conservatory is open to the public for a small charge, but is free on Tuesdays. Be sure to visit the gift shop for that garden lover in your life. |
