Service Dropped Over Time I've been going to Lilly Nails since its opening a few years back. I loved it and thought the service was superb. However, over the past 6 months, I've notice a definite decline in service. I find myself supervising more often in terms of cutting and shaping. I believe it may be due to the newer, less experienced technicians. I also find that, even on very light days, they are able to complete a pedicure in 15 minutes with obvious implications to the outcome.

beautiful lazy day – Duke gardens is a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Take a book or your studies and spread out on the field. If you have some extra time, wander through the forest paths. Bundle up, take a beau and find a secluded spot. The Gardens are full of visitors in the summer and spring-finding a parking space on the weekend is quite a challange. But the fall colors and brisk air are just as rewarding.

only place to see these animals – Unassuming and tucked away, the Primate Center is one of the only places in the country you can see many of these lemurs and other treasures. Take a tour with your younger kids and make them feel like they're own their own special retreat. This is a working lab, with studies always underway. The animals are very well cared for and the habitats are superb. The best habitats are the large outdoor enclosures that allow animals to interact at will, thereby allowing scientists to study social str... read more

One of the most tranquil settings in the Triangle. – In Short From formal to natural environments, Duke Gardens has many different varieties of native and imported plants, such as the mountain columbine, wisteria and Japanese iris. Find out what's in season, and let the imagination plan one's own garden. Take pets for a walk, throw a Frisbee or just have a quiet picnic with one of the area's best gardens. Keep an eye out for the wisteria growing over the pergola at the main entrance.

A Must See – Beautiful any time of year... each season brings something new and interesting. The best time to see the garden is in late May and June because the roses are in full bloom.

Sold me on Durham – 20 years ago Duke garden was the final touch that sold me on coming to Duke over other major medical centers. It's even better now. It is peaceful place for a walk/jog or to regain your equilibrium in a fast-paced world. It is meticulously maintained, with something to see at nearly every time of the year.

One of my favorite escapes – Duke Gardens is beautiful year-round and very well kept. There are lots of paths and places to explore. There is a large open lawn where you can bask in the sun, have a picnic, or play frisbee. The duck pond is nice and there are several kinds of ducks that live there. There are lots of cozy, peaceful places where you can just sit and read or lay on a bench and look up at the sky through the trees... or whatever "escape" you prefer. If you're into plants and gardening, you can find lots of intere... read more
