What people say
- People like:
- Peaceful atmosphere, diverse plants, the hedge maze and Christmas lights.
First time going, went with a group of 4 people, beginning of Sept. I would imagine that going late spring and mid summer would be best though... there was still lots of flowers and trees to see but you could tell most of it was dieing…
Oh my goodness...this was a gorgeous botanical garden location and it is way bigger than we expected. I couldn't believe how many area there were and each area is beautiful and breathtaking. There are lots of good photo ops but more…
