The stunning, 55-acre Sarah P. Duke Gardens are located in the heart of West Campus and are recognized as one of the finest public gardens in the country. Breathtaking and relaxing any time of year, the Gardens boast rose and iris gardens, an Asiatic arboretum, a wisteria pergola, and expansive lawns that are perfect for studying, reading, or simply sprawling on a blanket in the sun. Five miles of shaded, winding pathways provide a great respite as well as a chance to study many native plants and trees.
