Munsinger Gardens and Clemens Gardens, Botanical gardens on Mississippi River banks in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
The 21-acre property combines informal Munsinger Gardens with winding paths under pine trees and formal Clemens Gardens with six distinct European-style sections.
The Works Progress Administration constructed Munsinger Gardens in the 1930s, while Clemens Gardens emerged as an expansion project during the 1990s.
The gardens function as an educational center where visitors learn about horticulture through guided tours, workshops, and seasonal community events.
Both gardens remain open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM between spring and fall, offering free admission and convenient parking facilities.
The Virginia Clemens Rose Garden features multiple fountains, decorative ironwork, and architectural elements that blend European design with American plant varieties.

Minnesota contains numerous locations away from the main tourist circuits. The state stretches from the shores of Lake Superior to the southern prairies, encompassing historic lighthouses, underground mines, waterfalls, and Japanese gardens. Visitors find both natural landscapes and cultural sites that tell the story of the region's history. Notable locations include prehistoric rock carvings at Jeffers Petroglyphs Site, where indigenous peoples left their marks thousands of years ago, and sacred trees of Ojibwe culture. The geological formation known as Devil's Kettle, a waterfall whose course puzzled scientists for years, attracts visitors interested in natural phenomena. Historic mines provide insight into Minnesota's industrial past, while lighthouses recall the maritime history along the largest of the Great Lakes.
