Reviews
"Attended the annual urban woods program here. Kids enjoy it a lot."
"I recently attended some training held in one of the conference rooms here. The facility is nice, and the people are friendly."
"A very nice place with lots of native landscaping, some cool turtles on the inside, and great staff. They have events for the kids. I was there for a Gardeners Connect talk in their spacious auditorium. It's a wonderful place for a public speaker."
"The day we came to the center there was a turtle exhibit going on where you can pet and hold live turtles. The ladies were very knowledgeable about turtles. Outside of the exhibit there were other small animals you can view such as snakes. Free, educational center with bonus trails in the back. We enjoyed it and recommend it if you have young kids."
"Attended the autumn forging class. Pat, the instructor did a very good job of condensing a lot of information into a brief 90-minute class."
