Roses, woodland wildlife and scores of herbs.. Herbal Essence
The former estate of Mary and Grace Innis is now the site of beautifully landscaped gardens, flower beds and a woodland wildlife refuge. The Metropolitan Parks District manages the 92-acre showplace, best known for its herb gardens.

Thyme for All Seasons
The seven major "rooms" include a Medicinal Garden with healing herbs used since ancient times, a Biblical garden focusing on plants mentioned in the Bible and the nationally renowned Thyme Garden. Inniswood also hosts Affair of the Heart, an annual event featuring gardening experts and activities.

For Black Thumbs
Those who prefer to remain vertical and not horticultural can enjoy the Spring Run and Preserve trails and the Frog Talk Walk. Visitors can also picnic, jog and play ball in designated park areas.
