Appalachian novelist Wendell Berry once said, “I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden.” Such truth is in this statement, taking a walk through the garden is one of the most simple but-profound experiences this life has to offer. Walking through a green haven, pure air that seems to emanate straight from the plants into the lungs, can make anyone feel at peace with the environment. 

There may be no better place in the plains to feel this serenity with nature than at the McCrory Gardens in Brookings, South Dakota. Located in central Brookings near South Dakota State University, there may not be an easier escape to nature. Filled with blooming flowers, local wildlife, paved-brick walkways, benches and numerous trees that offer their shade- this spot is perfect for any type of walker. Whether you visit for the wildlife, plants and trees, a workout, or whatever else- this little urban oasis is a perfect option.
