JUST HOW GREAT IS IT?

You may have heard in the last few weeks that USA TODAY was picking its TOP 10 U.S. gardens for plant lovers, and that our very own Munsinger-Clemens Gardens from St. Cloud was in the running to make the list!

I'm excited to announce that Munsinger and Clemens Gardens of St. Cloud DID make the Top 10 list in the US, falling in at number 8.

The location of the gardens along the Mississippi River was part of the reason. Here is what the article says word for word about Munsinger and Clemens Gardens of St. Cloud:

"Located along the mighty Mississippi River in St. Cloud, Minnesota, the adjacent Munsinger and Clemens Gardens complement each other perfectly. Munsinger Gardens feature a more informal and naturalistic landscape design where visitors stroll its winding paths adorned with colorful flowerbeds. In contrast, Clemens Gardens offers a more formal and structured experience. Divided into various themed gardens, it showcases meticulously manicured landscapes, formal flowerbeds, and water features."
