Two-Garden Shade Loop
For cooler hours only — a gentle walk linking two small gardens with a coffee stop folded in, all within a few minutes of each other.
If you're doing this in the early morning or evening when the heat advisory eases, wander from Unity Garden to Peggy V. Helmerich Gardens next door, then finish at Not Your Average Joe for a sit-down coffee. It's a compact loop, easy to shorten, and gives you some greenery before you settle into a seat with your drink.
