Roosevelt Campobello International Park
Sitting close to the border with Maine, the Roosevelt Campobello International Park is a popular and internationally known spot. While the park is named after President Roosevelt, the gardens are not historically accurate, but they do contain many of the varieties of plants that would have been grown in cottage gardens of the Roosevelt era.
The gardens are inspired by the era and popular styles, with some beautiful modern twists. The best months to see the gardens in bloom are July and August. If you are a fan of Dahlias, they are in full bloom from late September to early October.
