We did this because my wife has a green thumb. A slow stroll through the hillside, led by the owner. He's an old guy with a cane that has all your answers. You can get a lot of ideas here. Many good photo ops. They also host weddings here. There is room for about 6 cars by the garden and... More

Had read the reviews and wondered if this would really be a gem. It is an amazing garden. The owners work hard to keep all looking good. This is worth the time.
