The outdoor gardens are perfect for strolling and the indoor gardens provide a piece of year-round paradise under the conservatory’s geodesic dome.

The botanical garden hosts fun and educational events several times a week. Trellis, the onsite café, serves lunch. The food is sourced locally and dishes are inspired by plants. The garden’s shop features home and garden items as well as art created by local artists, children’s toys, and apparel for all ages.
