One of the most impressively laid out and immersive garden experiences of my life! Blown away at the attention to details, extremely wide variety of native and exotic flora and fauna, wildlife preservation, activities and events for all ages, and fun classes to engage the public. I instantly became a member after my first visit. There is something for everyone all seasons of the year. I'd give it more stars if I could!
Ashamed to say I've lived in the area over 30 years and this was my first visit. The grounds are lovely and there are lots of paths and trails to follow. It's not quite what I expected (manicured gardens with lots of colorful plants and flowers), instead more wild flowers, woodsy areas, some interesting ponds and even an interesting play area to keep young children entertained. There's plenty to see and explore and I'm sure I missed quite a bit but I ended up converting my day pass into a membership after my visit. It seems like an area that's nice to just meander through for an hour or two and overall pretty quiet. Despite the parking lot having quite a number of cars in it, the gardens and trails in no way seemed crowded or busy. Looking forward to going back to explore more often.
Very beautiful! Lots of butterflies and caterpillars to see. The garden was very peaceful and nice clear walk paths. The flower wall was very well put together. It's about three hours to see everything including a lunch break.
Very Beautiful. Its a must see and the staff explains everything very well, they are very knowledgeable and helpful. The cafe inside the building has many good options and great prices. I really enjoyed it. The only thing I missed was some informational brochure or pamphlet with the botanical wonders they have inside, this could add additional/ helpful/ interesting information to the visit. Here are some pictures, everyone.
