This is a nice place to take a walk if you enjoy peace and nature. But if you're passionate about native plants--or have a strong interest in ecology or conservation--it is the most magical place in the world. My husband and I spent hours here even though the trails are fairly limited. There's just so much to see and so many places to sit and listen. Keep the good work, Garden of the Woods volunteers! It's not easy to maintain such a thriving native woodland these days and your efforts are appreciated.
A beautiful, well maintained garden with many trails. If you don't stop to admire all the plants, you can walk through all the trails in about an hour. $16 might sound pricey to some but it is probably going to conservation efforts. They also have a lovely gift shop and education center.
Lovely woodland garden with well maintained walking paths. Great native plant shop to buy anything that caught your eye, plus a cafe and gift shop. Highly recommended!
I visited Garden in the Woods for the first time in April. Although not much was in bloom, it was still a very lovely experience. I loved seeing all the little turtles in the pond, and all the plants, tree’s and flowers that were in season. All the trails were well kept, and it was very clean. One of the trails that goes off the main path over the little spring was so peaceful. We just set on the tiny bridge over the spring and listened to the water trickle. The gift shop was very cute and the employee’s were kind and informative. I am definitely going to visit again soon.
Calm, peaceful and a wonderful place to hang out. Beautiful greenery with decent walking trails. Be sure to visit if you want a relaxing park with some good photo spots. I've loved my walk every time here. One of my favorite weekend spots!
