Well curated and beautiful garden space. Much of the garden paths are paved and stroller/chair accessible (but not all).Upvote2Downvote
Sritej AttaluriApril 26, 2019First time was 4/20/18 on a date. I'd smoked at 4:20 AM and was still high so I slept on my date's lap while on a bench in the middle of the gardens. She didn't mind. THAT'S how beautiful it is here.UpvoteDownvote
Amazing all year round but rose season is the best!
