WA Spokane, Washington, Attractions

Almost hidden south of downtown Spokane, this set of lovely gardens has been nurtured with a lot of donations of money (including a $10,000 donation from a Japanese dishwasher employed in Spokane) and time. Here is a great place to come and relax. included in the setting are a rose garden and a lilac garden. The Park has its own, well equipped Conservatory, a large, glass greenhouse with several smaller, attached greenhouses. Named the Gaiser Conservatory, it is open to visitors. Note that the Conservatory closes at 3:30p. You can pick up a walking tour brochure of the park at the Conservatory.
Our absolute favorite spot is the small Japanese Garden. These little gardens are just so peaceful it is like stepping into a different world. And this is all in the middle of a bustling city!
