We went here a few days ago. It was very chilly weather and many things were done blooming. We did see lots of beautiful Hydrangea blooms and a few other assorted flowers. There were pretty fall colors. We explored a couple of bridges that went across a creek. I was glad for the port-a-potty. Overall it was peaceful and lovely.

This sizeable garden is free to walk through, masks required. There are flat areas, small inclines, stairs and small bridges to cross all lined with beautiful foliage. There are 17 different sights to see including an event center with a gorgeous pond filled with water lilies and metal sculptures of wildlife.My visit was about an hour and walked to 8 of them, taking time for pictures and to sit on a few of the various benches available along the trails.There is also a spot, just as you enter the garden, which sells various plants including ferns, fruit trees, flowering plants and more.This is definitely a spot to visit for a short outing or picnic visit. Tables are located next to the parking area. Hours are 10am - 4pm, Wednesday through Saturday.

Close to home and MUCH bigger than I ever imagined. Nicely tended and kept. Beautiful plants, trees, flowers and land. Hoping the plants we bought will do well in our own yard.

Hidden Gem! This is a lovely place to walk through acres of well kept, beautifully layed-out grounds. Every area is themed differently as English Garden, Northwest Theme, Peaceful Pond, and More! Youll enjoy hunting for the art pieces as you stroll around.Dont miss the back area! A little more difficult to get to due to small hills, but worth it as an adventure!One small note: I wished I would have worn close-toed shoes because the path is dusty and there are occasional bugs.

This place is just amazing. Lived in the area for years and never stopped by, because it always seemed to be a Sunday when we passed by and they are closed on Sunday. Since seeing it for the first time this is our go to place when we feel like a casual park. Its free, but please donate. They have plants for sale usually too. I think most the employees are volunteers. Hopefully my wife and I will do the same when we retire. There is just an astonishing amount of different plants. I think they may cater special events too. The rescue birds are always a pleasure. If you have not gone there is a must see if you like nature.

Relaxing environment and beautiful garden with a lot of love sown into it. Small picnic area, and a pond area with ducks. Vast walking trails, some along Soos Creek. Small bird sanctuary with peacocks and other beautiful birds. You can see horses and cows from one side of the grounds. No pets allowed. All around, a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. For the walkers, there are plenty of inclined areas to enjoy.

Beautiful lily pond. Landscape design is superb. They incorporate the native as well as introduced species seemlessly. Both roses and perennials are full of color right now. The trails could be marked better, but I am hard-pressed to find anything to criticise. Oh, and keep an eye on the time. This place could keep you busy for hours, so keep an eye on the time. They dont close at dusk like other parks; they close at 4pm!

This place is incredibly enchanting. Beautiful birds, quite pond, creek running through the far end, a tree that smells like peanut butter! Also a cute family museum giving a bit of the history to the place. Go! Fun for everyone.

This is an awesome very well maintained garden. My favorite garden in the South Sound Area. Beautifully landscaped. Many garden art pieces scattered around the gardens. There is an aviary here with some various birds and a Peacock! Many beautiful garden areas of different types of plants. There is also a small history museum with many antique items on the grounds that is really cool!
