Guided tours take an hour. Allow about 2 hours for a full experience.

We encourage visitors to sit awhile and let nature’s healing qualities refresh you.

When is the best time to visit?

We are frequently asked this question. One answer is whenever you need a break, to relax and regenerate your energy. To banish winter blahs visit on Mother’s Day weekend when the gardens are bright with spring flowers and flowering trees. Return 2 weeks after your first visit and see a whole new scene. The gardens are constantly changing colors and form till we close on Columbus Day.  See What’s in Bloom
