Italian Garden

You will feel as though you are Under the Tuscan Sun as you step into the Italian Garden, also known as the Classic Garden. The garden encompasses all the ground between the two major roads splitting off the Apollo Fountain circle. 

Designed by Bruce Price, this European-inspired landscape features antique statuaries and replicas dating back from the 15th century. Intricately carved benches, urns, gods and goddesses and pergolas create a cultural blend of Greek, Roman and late European architectural beauty.
