Been there a few times now, the side rooms have been closed every time. Would be nice to see them open. Otherwise a nice spot.

I found there wasn't enough signage saying what the kinds of flowers/tress were. The two side rooms were closed off and couldn't go in to look. My son loved the little bridge and fairy garden to bad the fountain wasn't on.

Pros: -Free to go in ~ they only accept donations to keep the place open -Great environment and very calm -Many different plants & they have bees in garden -Well maintained -Spacious -Staff are very nice -Great for pictures & reading -Nice in the winter -Relaxing - Need to visit!! Cons: -Bad hours ~ open for only a couple hours a day & one person from my high school called to ask if they could extend hours for our prom by 30 mins and they said no - Cactus room is never open which is very disappointing -bathrooms need cleaning
