Situated in Hermann Park in the heart of Houston, the McGovern Centennial Gardens prides itself on a magnificent collection of manicured landscapes and gardens for the public to enjoy. Managed by the Hermann Park Conservancy, which was established in 1992 to restore and maintain the gardens for the people of Houston, the collection includes a beautifully maintained rose garden, an arid dryland garden, a leafy woodland garden, and a recently introduced interactive family garden.

The McGovern Centennial Gardens is one of the top Houston attractions for garden lovers. One of the main features of the gardens is a spectacular 30-foot high garden mount with a spiral to its summit, which boasts beautiful views. The Cherie Flores Garden Pavilion is equally beautiful and provides a lovely place to sit and relax.
