Munsinger & Clemens Gardens


Part of Clemens Gardens, Saint Cloud, Minnesota

My home town is in many ways an arm pit on the surface of Earth. It is therefore amazing that along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River the city has a set of gardens that are renowned for their beauty.

The original site is called Munsinger Gardens. The stonework you see in the second photo above is a legacy of the Works Progress Administration (WPA).

The Clemens Gardens were an addition of the 1990s.

We arrived a little late, so what you see here were shot in fairly low light. I'll try to add a garden blogging special edition on Clemens and Munsinger Gardens if there is time before we leave town.
