I was recently traveling back from Minneapolis when my mother suggested we stop in St. Cloud to visit the Munsinger Gardens. Never having even heard of them, I was all for it! Gardens? Free? Heck, yeah!
The varieties of gardens at the site are amazing. There were masses of annuals, perennial beds, color theme gardens, shade gardens, forest gardens and rose gardens.
Originally in the 1880s, the site was a sawmill on the banks of the Mississippi River. It was purchased as park land by the city of St. Cloud in 1915.
The river walk is particularly beautiful and even if you're not a garden junkie like me, walking along the Mighty Mississippi (although it's not quite to mighty here) is more than worth the stop.
