"Given the limited acreage the gardens occupy, I'm always stunned by how much there is here. Even having been visiting for years it seems like I stumble onto another path I haven't wandered every visit."

"It's always a great place to take a nice calm walk and be able to connect to nature in the city. If you're like me and like to find a nice place to sit and enjoy your coffee in the mornings, this might be a place for you. You can also bring your dog on a leash to have a walk, just remember to use the bags they provide for your furry friend when they need to relieve themselves."

"Diverse and beautiful plants!!! Sadly the kitchen garden was closed, but there were still all sorts of pepper, basil, and mint plants along the trail. The smell all throughout the gardens - just gorgeous. Butterflied and bumble bees galore. Exceptionally dog friendly, there’s even poo bags and disposal along the entrance. Additionally, there are restroom and water facilities, a shaded pavilion, a shaded gazebo with seating, and grassy areas. It’s a great place for a picnic or playtime with kids."

"This garden has a delightful children's garden space. There are a wide variety of plants, trees and flowers in all seasons. Many benches and seating areas for individuals and groups are available."

"BEAUTIFUL!!!! Great playground for kids and pet friendly. The trails/paths are very easy. Soooo many different flowers. There’s a veggie and fruit garden in the middle. A mini maze. 2 waterfalls with koi fish at the bottom surrounded by rose paths. An old blue truck for photo ops. Great for people of all ages."
