Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden, Nacogdoches

Lovely stroll in beautifully maintained gardens! Many markers to read and learn about the varieties of azaleas and other plants, and out of this world beautiful in the spring (in March). Could easily spend an hour meandering on this highly shaded walk. Can be easily walked with little effort. Some areas are wheelchair accessible, but not all. No bathrooms near park, so plan ahead. Plenty of benches to sit down and enjoy the scenery. Also connects to the shade garden at SFA as you cross the river on the bridge.

Compact, lush garden with meandering walking paths and sitting benches scattered throughout. While not big, there's plenty to see if you're willing to be interested in plants & greenery. In spite of being bordered by University Drive, little of the traffic noise permeates very far into the garden. The overall impression is of quiet solitude. On a weekday morning there were just a few other folks strolling the paths. It makes for a quiet retreat in the midst of the city.

We LOVED this garden with trails! What a treasure…we will be back! It is a well kept botanical garden with many seating areas for reading, relaxing, visiting, or picnicking. We loved the variety of plants that they grew.

Absolutely one of my favorite places to get my exercise start for the day. It doesn’t matter what season we are in , it’s a beautiful peaceful place to walk , talk, workout. One of the beautiful things about Nacogdoches.

This is a must see! Whether you live here, or you’re visiting. The grounds are well maintained, the plants and trees are just beautiful! I plan to make a trip when the maple trees are in their fall glory!!
