We were looking for the Arboretum when we stumbled on this park. We took less than an hour to stroll around enjoying the trees, flowers, ponds and the biggest koi I have seen. Lots of cute turtles in the pond too. Starting in May you can even have a wedding here, I think that would be great, if not raining.

It was a great way to spend my husband's birthday, May of 2012. We will always remember that day. This park is a jewel.

This park is sparkling clean, well-groomed with lovely lawns and little ponds where you can see flowering bushes reflected. It is a very popular place for wedding photos due to its relaxing beauty. Wear sturdy shoes, there is a small trail that goes up a hill behind one of the ponds and has a wonderful view of the garden. Very...

Great to be able to bring our dog on a walk through the gardens! Even though it was early in the growing season, there were lots of great plants to see. Check it out!

This is a beautiful relatively small park, great for walking with out-of-town visitors (esp those who might be less vigorous or flower lovers).

It is so lovely here and well worth the trip. It is lush and exotic and a photographer's dream come true.

it's worth a visit if you have the time to just take a stroll around and not worry about getting somewhere in a hurry.

One of the best small gardens I have seen; lush and inventive. A bit of a trek to get here--I missed a turn or two--but well worth the effort.

All of the other reviews are correct. Kubota is a really nice garden. But don't come unless you are prepared to have your car broken into!
There is a sign in the parking lot telling you to keep valuables out of sight and lock you car.
On a cool and quiet Saturday morning in April, I did just that. As...

Such a beautiful place, beautifully designed for maximum color in all seasons. It's out of the way, but if you're a plant/garden fan, don't miss it.
