This is great garden full of photo ops! They take such good care of all the plants. I recommend everyone check it out at least once. During wedding season, weekends may not be the best time to do that though.

My husband and I visited this gardens a few weeks ago and it was more than we expected! There's a ton of sections of plants with the names of nearly everything planted. They also have waterfalls and beautiful walkways. Plus it's free!

If you like gardens, you should definitely visit. For one thing, it's FREE, and for another it's beautiful. My family and I visit all the time. Some day, I'd like to go without the kids and just sit and read a book and enjoy the scenery.

Small space with nice asian gardens, pond and area for kids. They also sell plants and have a gift shop.

My daughter loved it! Especially the little house with the mushrooms. The Tea House and Koi pond were lovely as well. What a gem in Wilmington!
We spent a couple of hours here, meandering through the gardens and talking to one of the many volunteers that keep this place looking so wonderful.
