I love going back to JCR every month as there is always something new blooming! They have become fanatics about not using insecticides and herbicides which makes it a little messier than it used to be. The lawns are picture perfect and plants have holes in them, but overall still a very satisfying experience.

If you love flowers, this is the place for you and priced right at Free. I don't think there is a formal parking lot.

Wander, medidate, or explore the variety of flora and fauna specimans in this city oasis. A haven for artists and photographers, a respite from the cares of the day.

One can not visit the Arboretum without being impressed with the variety of trees, shrubs and flowers that are exhibited there.

We've been to the gardens several times. we even had a picnic there for my daughter's birthday party. (I called prior for permission) My daughter who is photographer has taken pictures there of familys too. I love that it's free and it's a nice place to go and walk around.

For the price (free), this is a very nice place to visit.
There's a LOT to see. Besides the plants and trees, the grounds are very nicely landscaped.
We really enjoyed our walk through the property.
