McGovern Centennial Garden in Hermann Park

Brightwater Garden Club's field trip to the new McGovern Centennial Gardens at Hermann Park was a huge success. This beautiful garden, installed to commemorate the centennial of Hermann Park, is the crown jewel of Houston's public gardens. Filled with plants and trees that thrive in Houston's climate, the garden is not only a relaxing green space, it also a valuable source of ideas for plants and landscape design for home gardeners.
The Mound, which creates the focal point of the garden, gives visitors a fascinating perspective as they look down on the garden, the surrounding parklands, the museum district and the Med Center. At the top of the Mount, this inscription on the benches is an eye catching feature: "If you think of a year, plant a seed. If you think of ten years, plant a tree. If you think of one hundred years, teach the people." ~ Confucius. |
