It was a nice garden to visit! It takes 40-45kin to walk all.
We visited as the rhodos and magnolias were beginning to fade and the peonies had yet to burst open, and yet there was still much to see.
There were more varieties of rhododendruns here than I have seen elsewhere.
The paths here are wide, level and smooth, so accessible. Its a small and tranquil garden with some well-placed benches. We easily passed a pleasant hour here and will come again.

Amazing gardens and free to visit. So many gorgeous trees and flowering shrubs among the winding pathways.
Loved our stop here on the way to the ferry. Lots of birds to see and hear. Bonus... dogs are permitted on a leash.
Beautiful gardens to stroll through. I imagine it's even better when everything's in full bloom. It was quiet, serene and you could even bring a small picnic if you wanted to. Enjoy!
The rhodendrons in early May are spectacular. A nice wooded walk with many paths to draw your attention to another hidden bouquet. It's free other than the parking which is on university property. We spent an hour there, but you could easily spend two enjoying the garden.
The gardens are surprisingly large - and the best price of all - free!!
The large variety of rhododendrons and azaleas were very good. It's too bad that most of the grassy openings were closed for the public.
