 | | Jackie Penn, Co-op Member | | This was a favorite place to visit as a child. The plants are exquisite so take your time to breathe in all the varieties. Make sure to wear your tennis shoes and bring your camera. There are benches to sit and take a break. The old log cabin village is located in the area and is a great place to explore. It is quite small and won't take long. |

| | C. Stewart, Co-op Member | | Gardens are beautiful. Admission is free. Went to a paid homeschool class on learning to use a compass (orienteering). Class was quite frustrating for kids because many of the signs were missing or had been moved. |
