The peaceful environment of the garden is relaxing and an oasis to escape to from urban living.

The Demonstration Garden showcases a variety of different species of plants in a natural setting.

Resting adjacent to the vegetable garden is a butterfly flower garden and inviting bench, across from the garden are majestic trees that shade a small waterfall and a natural bench carved from stone. The garden serves as a wonderful retreat and is popular attraction at Lakeside Park/Lake Merritt.
