Enchanting Linmar Gardens is nestled in a hillside overlooking the historic town of Galena, Illinois.  The secluded and privately owned three and a half acre garden is situated on natural outcroppings which have been enhanced with hand-built terraces.

Meander on paths through a collection of plants including hostas, viburnums, conifers, grasses and dayliies.  Vibrant annual and perennial flowers are scattered about the inviting grounds.

Water features include flowing brooks, ponds, and a twenty foot waterfall cascading from a natural bluff.

A replica of a small mine cut into the side of a limestone wall, and a sunken garden built in the ruins of one of the first African-American churches in Illinois are among other unexpected delights.

Two gazebos provide a place to reflect upon this unique and beautiful treasure.
