We had a really nice time at this botanic garden. It’s smaller than the Brooklyn botanic garden and much more manageable to cover in an afternoon. It also seemed to have more plants in bloom for some reason. I loved the quaintness of it and seemed more like a neighborhood place than the larger gardens in the city. Most beautiful hibiscus bushes I’ve ever seen. Only downside is there are two lovely gardens that are off limits and that was disappointing. They were the Children’s Garden and the Wedding Garden. Cute little gift shop with reasonable prices. Lots of shaded places to sit and lovely fountains and koi!
It is a great place for family outings. Nature, open space, green and peaceful environment!

Went there during their free entrance fee time, Sunday morning between 9a-11a. The walk in the garden was short and less than what I expected. Took us faster than we thought walking around the garden. It was a beautiful day and free entrance fee, so it was good. Would not pay for $6 to get into the garden.

Nice peaceful walk and not over-crowded. Small entry fee but you can sit for as long as you want, bring a snack and relax. The first part is where the flowers are.. then it turns in to lawns you can have a picnic or just layout/walk. Very nice plants and trees, make sure to look up to see some unique trees.
It’s like a regular backyard. It’s fine for a walk when it’s free (early morning Sunday and Wednesday) and the weather is nice. $10 to park and plenty of spots, $6 a person for entry.
In the spring, there is nothing special here. Just a few daffodils and watching a compost heap.
There is a restroom which was medium clean. Not bad. There were a couple of cute little man-made ponds but there was nothing in them. No fish or anything. Just dead leaves in it.
The plants they had were mostly dead in April. Just a few daffodils is all they had for now.

Overall, it’s fine if you want a quick walk in the park when it is free. It’s not worth $6 per person to just be in a plain field. It’s probably pretty nice in the summer but now is not the season.

Nice place to take a free walk. Recommend to park outside since parking inside is $10. Even though at this time of the year there's no much to see.

It's a small garden, but there are a nice variety of flowers to see during the warmer months. It is free during the colder months, (November - March), but there will not be much to see during those months.
Beautiful Place especially in the spring. I'm a photographer and I love taking photos of the flowers and landscape views.
