Queen Creek Botanical Gardens

"A little busy but as expected given the recent opening. However, everything was running smoothly. The service was great and is a great place for family and even for dates."

"You would think that a founder and executive director would have better customer service. The way he treated me and my wife tonight was appalling. He never apologized for the unjust accusations of trespassing. Classic defensive attitude when pointing out a poor approach. We were "guilty" and treated as so, until we were led like children to show our innocence. Once proven, still no apology. I'm sure he could tell I was rattled so why he wouldn't apologize could be a matter of pride, arrogance or maybe he just didn't like us. If you would like more details on what happened, you can see my review on the Pecan Lake Google Page. I should move the review to here as the only fault they have is actually working with someone like this. He could have just had a bad day, bad moment, etc. He has a nice resume. But my first hand experience with him was not pleasant and he represents the gardens as their leader. I'm a forgiving man, but he was in no mood to apologize and ruined our experience and our evening."

"We visited the gardens early on a spring morning before the sun was too hot. They open at about 9am. We had family visiting and it was our first time as well. Shortly after walking in we were greeted by one of their amazing gardeners/botanists/arborists.... sorry IDK! I think she said her name was Nadia? Addie? She walked us through several plants and their tastes. IT'S an odd thing to overcome the hesitation of just putting leaves and flowers into your mouth to taste but everything really is edible! Turns out begonias are fantastic! They are expanding like crazy and this will be a stunning attraction in a few more years! To the guy who is building the fantastic new house on the property, how lovely and wonderful! Let me know if you offer tours - Cheers and thanks for the experience!"

"My friend Joanne and I toured the gardens just yesterday. Our First Time! Your staff was so friendly and helpful. Dave told us quite a bit about the vegetation and how the QR codes set up all around would tell us even more. Joanne and I are both very interested in gardening and sustainability. She has already grown vegetables at her home. I hope to follow suit some day. Definitely want to come back again. I am a now a member. As of this month. Also purchased a Founder’s Paver. So glad such a beautiful place is close to where we live now! Thanks for deciding to be a part of the QC and nearby STV communities! A gem! ❤️"

"Went to the luau. Great place to have a luau. But. We had to wait an hour before we could eat. We were starving! As well as the other guests. There was only 1 line for food for 100 people( not good for starving people). No bar........... The performances were great but they needed to have a stage for them so that all the guests could see. Some rude people were putting their children up on their shoulders to see the performances and blocking people's view behind them. They should have started feeding everyone at 5-6:30. Maybe given a ticket for everyone to use to get their meal? I felt really bad for the people in the back of the line. They didn't eat until 7:30! After dinner about 40% of the guest had left. Seating was very tight! Not a lot of room to move around. There was room to spread out for sure. Probably will wait a few more years before coming back to a event. Love the garden it was beautiful. Lights were a nice touch."
