Take a stroll through the Grand Allee, a beautiful wide walkway in the spectacular Vander Veer Botanical Park lined by mature trees and blooming flower beds. It is one of the century-old traditions in Davenport. The path leads to the bubbling Stone Fountain with dancing water and ever-changing lights. For those who want a bit more speed, there is another path on the outside perimeter of the garden, which offers about one mile of jogging track. You will also find gardens that were first established in 1885, including the Municipal Rose Garden, the Hosta Glade, the Old World Gardens and Fountain, the Children Garden, and so much more. The Conservatory is one of the jewels of the park with a year-round display of fragrant blooms: spring azaleas, lilies, daisies, summer tropical flowers, fall colors with the Chrysanthemum Festival, and the winter Poinsettia Lights Display.
