Much of the Gardens is located in a valley that the planners of Duke
University in the early 1920s hoped to turn into a lake. Due to lack of
funds, the idea of a lake with elegant fountains was abandoned and the
first plants at this site were made in the early 1930s, a result The Sarah
P. Duke Gardens today consists of three major parts: the original Terraces
and their immediate surroundings, the Blomquist Garden of Native Plants,
and the Culberson Asiatic Arboretum. There are five miles of walks and
pathways throughout the gardens.
