Memphis Botanic Garden is a lovely 96-acre botanical garden in Memphis' Audubon Park, open to the public daily. The gardens were originally established within the park in 1953, with additions landscaped throughout the rest of the decade, including an arboretum, rose garden, and magnolia garden. Today, more than 23 specialty gardens are showcased at the facility, including a bicentennial iris garden, a Japanese tranquility garden, a sensory garden, and the Anne Heard Stokes butterfly garden. Young visitors can play and explore at the My Big Backyard children's garden, which offers interpretive displays and children's activities. Sandwiches and soups are served up throughout the week at Fratelli's Cafe, which offers scenic views of the park's water and sculpture gardens.
