If you want to experience one of the most beautiful landmarks in the Quad Cities, then you definitely want to visit Vander Veer Botanical Park in Davenport, Iowa. This 131-year-old park is a 33 acre assortment of trees and gardens. Many of the plants built in the early 1890's are still standing in Vander Veer this very day. Some of the features this place has to offer includes the Grand Allée, Stone Fountain, a variety of greenhouses, the Municipal Rose Garden (est. 1948), the Hosta Glade (est. 1998), and the Old World Gardens and Fountain (ca. 1900). This is just a fraction of what Vander Veer Botanical Park has to offer, and it is definitely a location that you sure don’t want to miss.
