Review:
Sunken Gardens is a beautiful 1.5 acre romantic, fragrant garden built in 1930 as a project for unemployed men, which grew into one of the favorite Lincoln parks. Every spring, an army of volunteers plant more than 30,000 plants following a particular theme and inspiration.
During springtime, visitors walk between miles of colorful tulips and daffodils and celebrate the rebirth that occurs after winter. In the summer, thousands of blooms greet visitors until fall chases them away with colorful leaves. The garden also has a cascading waterfall and two reflecting pools. There is a number of sculptures scattered among the blooms and a dome designed by architect Jeffrey Chadwick, which is made of laser-cut panels which represent the four seasons of Lincoln.
