The first thing I noticed after parking the car($12 per car no matter how many people are in your vehicle, also covers your admission) was the pond with 4 swans in it. One of the employees here told me that they are two couples and that they mate for life, he said "they stay together for their whole lifetime because there are no lawyers in the bird world".
After seeing the pond I went and checked out the visitors center where they give you a free map of this huge property (385 acres). I knew I would need a snack at their cafe before exploring this spectacular property. Inside the visitors center is restrooms as well as a gift shop (another review).
They have over twenty amazing gardens that between them grows a huge amount of plants and flowers of so many spieces.
There are several ponds & streams thru out the area as well as plenty of benches where you can rest your feet. Not only is this a great place to get some great excersise but it is a great place for quiet time and reflection.
