Discover native plants Discovery Green’s gardens are an ecological preserve of sorts for native flora and fauna, and an inspiration to gardeners.

Lining the north shore of Kinder Lake, this is the park’s largest garden and includes wetland plants – Louisiana Iris and Whitetop Sedge on the lake side of its gravel path – and upland grasses – Giant Liriope, Dwarf Maiden Grass, Karly Rose Fountain Grass and Gulf Coast Muhly, on the upland side.
