Very peaceful. Nice little place to go for a walk, sit and talk with a friend, walk the dog (I think its pet friendly but you need to check). There is alot of different pieces of art to look at and photograph. I wasnt disappointed!

Great, cozy little getaway in the center of town. If it werent for the train tracks that run behind the place you wouldnt know you are in town. We liked it though. It added a nice touch for the kids.

Absolutely beautiful! This is a diamond in the rough! Peaceful, beautiful, tranquil are words that come to mind. I went for a night in the garden with Ivan John. I truly hope this becomes a regular thing because I loved it.

Nice place to stop and see. $2.00 per person( on the honor system). Theres a very friendly cat that welcomes you. Beautiful butterfly gardens.

Beautiful garden with really cool rock structures. Great place for cute pictures. My fiance loved it. Well worth the $2.

This hidden gem is absolutely amazing! The owners friendly greeted upon arrival and departure were an added bonus. You can tell they put a lot of time and hard work into making the property look and stay amazing.

Such a wonderful garden, right in the heart of the Marion county. We went to the place as visitors but left a piece of hearts there only. Warm welcome by owner (Diana)herself made the visit even more special. It’s always great and encouraging to connect at a personal level, as Diana and Greg shared their story of a their 20 year old vision coming to reality.The garden is beautifully designed with rock art, mosaics, gazebo, livestock, a small pond, nursery. This place is must visit.

Check this awesome place out.

Interesting place for a picnic. Costs $2 per person.

Pretty neat spot. Cool structures and stuff. Worth $2, but we only stayed for about 15 minutes before we got tired.

Wonderful little place to visit. Beautiful scenery and a quiet, quaint setting. Must see!

This is a lovely sanctuary. More than worth the $2 admission for adults. They even take PayPal.

Beautiful place, Owner very nice & hell help you with any need. I think its the new place to go.

Super cool place to stop while driving through Illinois. Loved the peaceful gardens and rock mandalas. Also loved the goats! I sent an email to the owner and they left the gates open so we could walk through. Make sure you leave a donation! :)

Beautiful place and well maintained.

A unique garden full of flowers and art.

This emerald gem is tucked in an unsuspecting neighborhood with a humble entry. (look for a gravel lot next to a small home) It opens up like lotus petals into ever more beautiful spaces and art instalations. Give your donation under the rock as you walk in and give yourself up to the peaceful walk through spirals, labrynths and a hundred hues of green. I was so glad that the whole grounds were easily accessible by my husband who uses a walker for medium to long distance walking.My only suggestion is that they need a better sign and possibly a less sandy base to the pathways. It rained that day and caked the wheels of the husbands walker a bit. Nothing a bottle of water couldnt fix... Just messy

A great gesture for a great man but unfortunately poorly excited , since the memorial garden is very limited & does’t contain any of Mandela’s great history & fight against racism . A bonus for Leeds council . Garden is 24/7 open for visitors free of charge . NK

Fun little garden

Great place!

Absolutely beautiful

This place was beautiful. Great place for meditation. Must see for those who seek solace in nature

Very pretty

Really wish there was a sign. Other than that it was nice, just a little muddy.

Absolutely beautiful.

Amazing and beautiful!

Great retreat in an awesome part of town.

We drive by almost every day. Peaceful and well cared for.

Neat and strangely trippy little trail

Beautiful and peaceful place

Our Jr. Garden club toured the gardens. It is so peaceful and beautiful. Mr. Reid donated some flowers for our school pollinator garden as a kind gesture. We all loved the trip.

Very Beautiful and peaceful place! Owners have put their hearts into creating their own haven and have opened it to share with the public! I officiated their first big wedding and it was amazing!

From what we could see it was a nice private set up, but there were no hours listed and it was locked up tight on a Saturday. It might be a winter thing?

Just bought 6 mums @ $10. each. Beautiful and Hugh mums. If u have not purchased mums this year, please get them at Mandala gardens.

Lovely little garden that seems to be private, but that is open to the public. Grateful to the residents for sharing.

Beautiful garden! Nice peaceful environment!

Beautiful. Work in progress
