Description

Situated between the St. Johns County Council on Aging building and the parking lot of the Grafton House, the Millen Memorial Garden is small community garden full of colorful flowering plants. A shady brick-paved pathway winds through the trees and shrubs, the majority of which are native Florida varieties donated by volunteers. Benches and a table and chairs are available along the path where artists may sit and sketch. If you’re looking for a quiet spot to draw and paint that’s away from the bustle of Downtown, this is an excellent choice.
