Consistently well reviewed
4.7 stars held across 386 reviews is not a fluke — people keep going back.
Restrooms on site
The difference between an hour here and a whole afternoon, especially with a group.

A free lot and free street parking — one less thing to pay for.

Worth knowing first

Closed Saturday and Sunday

A narrow window to fit it in
Open 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM and no longer — an evening visit is out.
Strongly seasonal
What is in bloom drives the whole visit. In winter this is a barer, much quieter place than the photographs suggest.
