About Us:

McCrory Gardens is a botanical garden operated and maintained by the Plant Science Department of South Dakota State University.

McCrory Gardens harbors over 25 acres of flowers, trees, shrubs and grasses in harmonious settings to display, educate, and further the development of new varieties. An additional 40 acres of arboretum (a place for the scientific study and public exhibition of many species of trees and shrubs) is dedicated to the South Dakota State Arboretum.

Look, sniff, and touch as much as you wish, but please do not pick the flowers, dig the plants, or take cuttings from any plants. Your fingers may itch to trim off spent flowers, but please restrain yourself. You will find small, discrete tags identifying most of the plants.
