If you like gardens, you should definitely visit. For one thing, it's FREE, and for another it's beautiful. My family and I visit all the time. Some day, I'd like to go without the kids and just sit and read a book and enjoy the scenery.

It's so wonderful to see how well the arboretum looks this time of year. All the hard work has paid off and a big thank you to all that help it be one of the most beautiful gardens in the area.

My future wife and I are getting married here in the Spring. We cannot wait! The gardens are very beautiful all year long, but especially in the late spring. Best of all, it's FREE! Definately worth spending an hour or two here if you have some free time.

Visited the Arboretum with my husband and 2 year old daughter. We all had a wonderful time. It is so beautiful, I couldn't believe it was free! So many colorful flowers and butterflies.
