Walking the Gardens

The Gardens are open for walking every day 9am-5pm (including Sundays and holidays) through the winter. The Gardens and paths are not maintained from November to April, so you visit at your own risk. Admission is “by donation” for the winter months (there is a donation box in the breezeway / entry).
