This place is incredible. The house tour was fantastic, the lady was so knowledgeable and we learned so much!! We caught a quick rain storm that was refreshing and help cool off the hot summer sun.. this is a must visit!!! Missed the azaleas this round but it gives me a perfect reason to come back!!!!
Really interesting place. The story behind the home and gardens is story book. I thought the architecture was more impressive then the garden but the whole thing is worth the trip to this tucked away oasis. I noticed some folks looking to see certain types of flowers and they have a guide to when certain plants are in bloom.
It was raining the day we were there but there were plenty of spots to hide until the rain past. Expect to spend a couple of hours wandering the grounds. They have audio tour you can access from your phone which tells a pretty good story. It’s an easy walk but they’re are some stairs in the house and steps in the garden some folks might be mindful of.
Beautiful to visit in any season, they do an amazing job keeping flowers and plants growing and blooming year round. The festival lights in winter are absolutely stunning and the spring and summer flowers are breathtaking. There’s so much to see that you seem to discover something new with each visit.
Pictures don't do ANY justice to how absolutely gorgeous this place is!!! My family and I visit this beautiful place every Christmas and we just love the atmosphere of it all! What a way to get in the holiday spirit! Highly recommend that you make at least one visit just see for yourself! You will not be disappointed!
The Christmas lights are amazing. However it was so all busy and crowded and I don't feel comfortable with covid exposures here. No one wore masks or socially distanced. It was also hard to get around with everyone trying to get pictures. Aside from that, it was pretty amazing. The lights were gorgeous and they're was Christmas music. Half the drink stands were closed, so the only area open did have a really long line for snacks and hot chocolate, and it was at the halfway point.
