We stopped in last May and even though the roses weren’t fully in bloom yet, it was still such a cool place to wander. The garden is way bigger than you expect, and once you’re inside the arches it feels like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale (minus the toddler snacks stuffed in your pockets). Parking can look chaotic at first, but there’s actually plenty of it — you just might have to do a lap or two. Definitely worth it though. I love that the park labels all the roses and hybrids, so if you’re a plant nerd... or pretending to be one.... you can actually learn something while you walk. It’s peaceful, it’s pretty, and if you happen to catch sunset? Forget it. The whole place glows. Definitely a spot I’d go back to in June when everything is popping. Great place to stop and smell the roses — pun intended. 🌹😄

My daughter got engaged in beginning of October in the gazebo. It is an absolutely beautiful park many flowers blooming. Then to the restaurant for a luncheon after. Joe the manager was very pleasant and easy to work wish and the food was exceptional. Our photographer Sam, The Inverted lens, did an awesome job at capturing this special moment.

wow. what an amazing site. my family and I were looking for a place to killed time and came across this magnificent center. it was filled w beautifully decorated flower arches, colorful bushes, endless array of plants & trees - and the best part was it was all free! this spacious venue offers different walking trails & paths, luscious green grasses for picnics, and an abundance of scenic greeneries for photos or to escape to sun under the shades. we were in awed despite the peak bloom had passed, there were still enough to sight see. there were even at least 3 wedding parties taking place at different parts of the garden! please come and enjoy what a truly remarkable establishment and do remember to leave it how you find it: no trash, litters, or graffiti and markings. keep this place beautiful & majestic. can't wait to come back and see the rose garden in full bloom! also - herbs garden was very intriguing. their soft serve ice cream was top notch!

Wonderful place to enjoy nature and beautiful gardens. We enjoyed walking most of this park and walking through the rose garden. It was a little late in the season so the roses were coming to an end but it was still beautiful and very enjoyable.

This garden is magical. It sweeps you away and transports you to a fairytale of beauty and endless aromas. I had such a wonderful time on my visit and took plenty of pictures. Everyone i passed seemed to be as entranced as I was with the display of roses. There were smiles on all the faces older and younger. I would encourage people to visit.
