I am a member of this place. I have been several times and always enjoy going just to visit, take a walk, visit the plant store, etc. A definite place to visit.

We brought my mom and dad here for Mother's Day, and it was a great choice! This is worth the visit! We walked through the entire facility and the art museum. We'll be back with more guests from out of town.

Good food in great surroundings. The park had more to offer than we had time to enjoy. Lunch was great and the birding was fun.

This is a wonderful little "secret", with terrific plants, scenic settings, a great little restaurant and can't think of a better way to spend a day!

A beautiful garden site in the middle of the city. Knowledgeable docents/volunteers/staff. FABULOUS shops! ;-D. The Tea Room is much improved- food and especially service. Most of the gardens are wheelchair accessible via paved or hardpack paths. They frequently have special events, such as Dia de los Muertos and Holiday Lights which are always very enjoyable with entertainment.

I bought my Wife a membership here. We live in New York and only visit once a year. It is well maintained and the people are very friendly. We are always stopping to chat with one of the volunteers and talking about everything. We will always stop here once or twice a year.

We spent a couple hours here and found it restful and interesting. There are docents who love to share their knowledge. People who are interested in plants could spend all day. We were glad we stopped here, but a couple hours was all we needed.

This was a very nice educational and overall enjoyable visit. The grand kids liked the story time, and the trails are flat,safe and easy. The kids especially like the "boat" races. They will tyell you about it at the cashier ( its a free thing).
