There is no admission fee for either gardens. The gardens are open every day from 7:00 a.m. My personal favorites are the Virginia Clemens Rose Garden and the White Garden, they are absolutely beautiful. They include six gardens in a formal European style with American plantings and fountains. Developed primarily in the 1990s by Bill and Virginia Clemens, who then donated them to the City of St. Cloud – Nathan looks very grouchy, buy he had fun as wellĬlemens Gardens is half the size of Munsinger Gardens.

The first greenhouse was built in 1938 it has subsequently been replaced. Projects from this period included planting trees and flowerbeds, and building rock-lined paths, a lily pond, and a fountain. The gardens themselves were constructed primarily in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration. Informal with winding flower-bordered paths under tall pines, and date from 1915 when the city purchased the former site of a sawmill as a park. Munsinger Gardens is spread over 14 acres. The gardens are located northwest of the intersection of University Drive SE and Kilian Blvd SE, and along the southernmost portion of Riverside Drive SE. Cloud, MN. It’s a beautifully two part garden along the banks of the Mississippi river. If you live in Minnesota or coming here for a visit, you need to check out the Rose Gardens, also known as Munsinger Gardens and Clemens Gardens in the heart of St. By Silke Spending an afternoon in the rose gardens is always a pleasure!
