It's a big garden to explore. Very peaceful and you feel serenity right away while you are walking around. During our visit, not too many people but still gotta wait for people to leave a certain spot when taking pics on specific angle. It's $10pp for the entrance fee via online, spacious parking spot. You have to drive very deep inside to get to the entrance. At one point I thought I got lost, took my parents with me during my visit. We all loved the place and we brought some food with us to eat there for lunch. There are benches for picnics in certain areas, not all areas you can eat at. Recommended to visit if you are in the area.
9.16.22 We drove 1.5 hours from CT, paid the $10pp entrance fee, and absolutely loved thus tranquil, beautiful area. Without reading much about this place I assumed by garden, it would be a floral garden. That it is not. Instead, all around this beautiful pond, you'll find unique trees, Asian inspired rock, plant gardens. The walk around the pond itself is probably just a mile long. You'll find many benches and spots to sit and relax and enjoy the serenity. It's great for all ages. It's especially great for painters and photographers. Enjoy.
Just a lovely experience all around. It was a super hot day when my daughter and I went and I was a little under the weather but they have magical places to sit and rest, ponder and contemplate. The topography is beautiful and interesting with plenty to look at. You could spend all day easily here and not be bored.
I booked on line,I arrived and it's still not crowded Saturday AM, the ladies at the welcome booth were super friendly and explained the different paths you can take , they did offer a free guided tour,at 10:30, but I declined. Grounds were beautifully kept, quiet,the walk took about an hour and a half,so much to see the bridge over the water was awesome. I'm going back in the fall , as I think with all the trees it's going to be stunning. Highly recommend this place.
Very well maintained mid century modern garden, managed to make all the human manipulation and intervention look natural and effortless, as if Nature left it that way, must be the hardest job. Love the Adirondack chairs and benches dotted the property, always at the exact right view spot and same time creating a view themselves.
