Kathryn Cooper Weddings | Photographer | Wedding + Elopement Photographer5 StarA lovely garden oasis off the highway, AND an inclusive, laid-back, unique wedding venue. I photographed a couple there who got married in the garden, had cocktail hour there, and partied through the night in their indoor/outdoor space. A perfect day!Friday 9th February 2024
Raybies Flynn5 StarOnly $12 for admission into the gardens. The entire grounds are beautiful. The nursery is free to visit. I could easily spend a few hours here. The restrooms are clean. There are water fountains and a gift shop. There is a nice little play ground beside the gift shop. There is also a bicycle repair station near the entrance, in the parking lot.Thursday 16th November 2023
