Sunrise Walk at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens

Rise early and enjoy a delightful summer walk at Virginia’s Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. The 95-acre garden features thousands of ornamental and native plants in numerous collections; lakes and adjacent forests that attract a variety of birds; a restored log cabin that embodies the colorful history of the garden; and a unique Korean bell pavilion, the only structure of its type in an American public garden.

American Horticultural Society international travel guide Keith Tomlinson leads a hilly 3-mile walk on paved and mulched trails.
