Duncan Gardens Manito Park Spokane Washington WA Postcard

A formal 3-acre European Renaissance-style garden with a large granite fountain at the center and a gazebo at the south end. It is located immediately to the south of the Gaiser Conservatory, which overlooks it from atop a small hill. The arrangement of the flower beds and plants make the Duncan Garden bilaterally symmetrical. There are 63 beds in the garden which are filled with over 30 thousand individual plants. Planting typically begins in May and the gardens are maintained until the arrival of regular frost in October or November. Named for John Duncan, Spokane's second park superintendent from 1910 to 1942, the garden was originally known as the Sunken Garden for its location in a previously muddy depression. Duncan designed and built the garden in 1912, and it was renamed in his honor in 1942. The granite fountain at the center was donated by Verus Davenport, widow of early Spokane businessman Louis B. Davenport, in 1956.
