While most of Wheaton Regional Park is crowded on a nice day, Brookside Gardens tends to be slightly less congested and some areas are downright tranquil. Some of the areas include a azalea garden, rose garden, children’s garden, formal garden, fragrance garden, Japanese style garden and trial garden.
Brookside Gardens’ mission, as a public garden, is to foster appreciation for the art of gardening and the science of horticulture through plant collections and displays, learning opportunities and special events.

I love when cities have places like this carved out for folks/photographers to visit. Hopefully those in that area will see this if they have never heard of it before!
