Explore Sarah P. Duke Gardens on Duke University’s Durham campus, with paths through formal plantings, water features and natural garden settings.
Sarah P. Duke Gardens provides a sequence of cultivated landscapes on Duke University's Durham campus, with paths that move between formal planting, water features, and more natural garden settings. It is a destination for an unhurried walk and for noticing how different planting styles shape an outdoor space.
Use the garden's map to choose a route suited to your available time and mobility needs.

Programs and university holidays can affect facilities.
