Connecticut gardens enhance public parks, nature centers, and historic home museums. A grand garden of this state is the Elizabeth Park Rose Garden in the capital city of Hartford, site of a famous flower show every spring. Many of the state's fine historic homes have grand gardens, as do many of the
state parks.
Gardens are a beautiful place for romantic walks or nature exploration with children.
