McGovern Centennial Gardens, Public garden in Hermann Park, Houston, United States.
The McGovern Centennial Gardens cover 15 acres with themed sections including rose gardens, an arid garden, and a 30-foot garden mount.
The gardens opened in December 2014 after an eight-year development project that transformed the former Houston Garden Center site at a cost of 31 million dollars.
The Hawkins Sculpture Walk displays international art pieces, including statues of Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, and Confucius among other historical figures.
The gardens remain open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM throughout the year, except for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, with free admission for all visitors.
The gardens contain 490 trees of 50 species, 55,000 perennial bulbs, 650 azaleas, and multiple themed sections along the central Centennial Green lawn.
