Sandhills Horticultural Gardens cover over 32 acres of beautifully conceived gardens where visitors can admire a wonderful collection of plants, both endemic and exotic. The garden started off with a modest Holly Garden in 1978 and over the years many other theme gardens have been added including the Rose Garden, a Hillside Garden, a Conifer Garden and a Fruit and Vegetable Garden, to name but a few. The gardens are open every day of the year at no cost, offering locals and visitors a few hours of inspirational serenity. Highlights include the Children’s Garden, Japanese Garden and the peaceful Wetlands Garden. Members can attend educational workshops and lectures.
