    Small but nice little Garden

    Free Arboretum that allows dogs. Good for a respite from the heat. Our dog enjoyed watching the carp.

    Beautiful in early Spring!

    4.5 bones: Azaleas, cherries, and more were blooming gorgeously. Gift shop closed due to COVID19. Found the cleanup bags on our way out. Nice walk around the grounds.

    Beautiful!

    We loved it here! Free admission to the gardens and you can bring dogs as long as they’re leashed and you pick up after them. Lots of space to walk around as well as various places to sit down and relax while enjoying the scenery. The (human) kids enjoyed feeding the koi fish and we all got a kick out of watching the dogs’ reactions.

    Pet friendly

    I only called this morning and found out you can bring your dog there as long as you pick up after them.
