They are working on new driveways, parking and sewers, so it has limited parking, but the gardens are still amazing even as flowers dive way to seeds, pods and great change in foilage colors. And the new Fairy Trail is great and full of great fairy houses!

I am a wedding planner in the area and the historical cathedral barn was my first choice. It is absolutely beautiful! Not to mention, the event manager Stephanie is AWESOME! She is so great to work with and I highly recommend this venue. Thank you so much!

An excellent place to take a walk and find a quiet space! I find it peaceful walking the recently installed maze. There are community gardens as well as excellent meeting facilities and a gift shop.

This park hosts a number of amazing nonprofit organizations, including The Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park, S.E.E.D.S. and TC Community garden. Its a lovely place to visit and spend some time connecting with nature.

The Cathedral Barn is a beautiful venue, surrounded by natural woods and the botanical garden. Stephanie was very responsive and helpful with planning prior to our wedding. She was quick to answer all our questions, easily coordinated with our other vendors, and made sure we had the ideal setup for our reception. It ended up being too cold for the outdoor ceremony we had wanted, but Kayla and the rest of the staff were able to adjust for an indoor wedding no problem. They were helpful, supportive, and overall great people. The venue is beautiful, and the staff is outstanding. You will not be disappointed if you have your special day at the Cathedral Barn!

My wife and I got married on the property and the reception was in the Historic Barn. A lot of our guests loved the venue. We were told people were trying to take pictures because of the beauty. The staff also did a great job accommodating us.

We visited for Fairy fest today. Community members made small fairy gardens/ houses on one of the trails and families toured them. Oh, it was so stinkin cute.Overall, the gardens are a nice venue. Close to overflow parking at tbaisd as needed. There are barns which host concerts on the property, too. My parents volunteer here, pulling weeds and pruning the s.

Small botanical garden. Not much to see .. but they give a free tour which might make it a little interesting.

A fascinating location with lots of history behind it. Being from a farming family, I was thrilled to learn all the facts about the barns and herd they housed. The gardens are lovely, with much more to come! The tour was free and extremely informative. Definitely worth an hours stop!

We recently had our wedding at the Cathedral Barn and could not have been happier. The venue is absolutely beautiful and Stephanie, the venue manager is completely wonderful to work with! She helps with some of the details of the process, gives local recommendations, and makes sure all your questions are answered. We had both our ceremony and reception in the barn and the staff there took care of switching the set up from ceremony to reception while our guests enjoyed cocktails/hors doeuvres and we took pictures. We didnt have to worry about a thing! We loved working with Stephanie and highly recommend the barn as a venue option.
