Great Garden for a walk or date. Especially liked the East Asian garden and tea house as well as the healing garden with all kinds of plants with healing properties from around the world. Butterflies exhibition currently going on was really nice. Food in the cafeteria was not the greatest however (crab was not really as fresh as we would have liked), possibly the tea house is a better choice. Also the children's garden, e.g. the musical instrument, was unfortunately in a not pristine state.

My Grandmother absolutely loved coming here when she came in town. It is so nice that they have wheelchairs for people to use while they're here. I can't wait for the Christmas lights again!

This is a beautiful place. Last time I visited during Christmas Eve and that was amazing.. Beautifully decorated with lights and it was a fantastic experience. Visited it again today on the fourth of July 2017. It's free admission today and it is fully crowded but the staff and volunteers were so helpful that it remained yet another memorable day. Definitely worth a visit. Also included pics from my Christmas visit..

Beautiful gardens and lakes. The views are amazing. There is also a butterfly garden but you have to make sure you come before 5. Also if you are a student you can get the 1 year membership for half the price. Totally worth it. It is also very family friendly with places for children to play in the water.

This is a one of a kind facility for the Richmond area. The grounds are superbly maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. The holiday light shows are incredible and are a "must attend" event. If you have never been here, you owe yourself two trips. Once in the spring or fall during the day, and once at night during the holiday light shows.
