"Beautiful place and gardens."

"Any time of year this place is the bomb. I love hanging out in the greenhouse in the winter..so toasty and the flowers and citrus trees lift the winter spirits! Fall is awesome in the Japanese gardens and the rose gardens are beautiful in the summer. Lilac gardens are awsome in the spring...there's something for every season. Plenty of fat squirrels to keep you smiling and entertained and most the people that walk and play here are decent people. Smiling vibes from most. I drive an hour just to come to this park....well worth it!"

"We loved this place. Well kept grounds with amazing diversity in trees and other plants. The conservatory is a very special place filled with exquisite specimens, sometimes very large or old."

"It's February and the only place at the park in bloom is the conservatory... But my, oh my... It's worth the walk through. Absolutely stunning orchids! Includes, but not limited to, interesting tropical plants, palms and cacti. If you're yearning for the sight of flowers, or just need a reminder of what Spring and Summer will bring, go ahead and breath it all in! Inspiration and Peace at it's finest! Can't wait to see the outdoor gardens later this year."
