McCrory Gardens

The gardens are maintained and operated by the South Dakota State University Horticulture, Forestry, Landscape and Parks Department. McCrory Gardens were named in honour of Professor S.A. McCrory, who was head of the department from 1947 until his death in 1964. Research in the gardens focuses on ornamental plants for South Dakota's climate. The garden features a Rock Garden, Herb Garden, White Garden and Woodland Garden. Recent developments in the garden include the Lilac Collection, Prairie Medicinal Garden and Rosenfeld Contemplative Garden. All-America Display judging takes place here.
