Historic Gardens

Flagler College is blessed with several historic gardens designed to enhance, not only the campus’s natural beauty, but to bring guests of the Ponce de Leon Hotel closer to the creator. Please explore our gardens at your leisure!

• Meditation and Contemplation Garden: Discover the Saul and Sara Rogers Meditation and Contemplation Garden, nestled behind the Alumni House, where tranquility meets inspiration. Here, you’re invited to embark on a transformative journey of meditation and reflection.
• Crisp-Ellert Art Museum and Gardens: The museum has two outdoor gardens, including the Elliptical  Garden, an outdoor garden that’s often used for ceremonies and receptions 
• The Courtyard Gardens: The fountain located at the center of the courtyard is not only beautiful but also functional – it was used to aerate water for hotel guests. If you look to the sky, the Ponce’s prominent towers once held thousands of gallons of water; today, these towers now celebrate the top of each hour with a different instrumental song. A perfect venue for simply taking the time to relax and smell the flowers!
