Beautiful, peaceful, and nostalgic. It's quite changed since I remember visiting 2 decades ago regularly as a child. It makes me so happy to see the expansion, curation, and focus on conservation/preservation, and education. Free!

This is Probably my favorite place in Houston. Every time I come here, I feel peace and solace. The garden is magnificent and perfectly manicured. If you are in need of a place to soothe your soul and calm your mind, come here and walk around it with a loved one. I take my 84 yr old mom here Every time I come to Houston. It makes her so happy as well.

Really enjoyed the variety of plants, flowers, herbs and vegetables. Very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Besides the garden there were also trails but I did not explore any of them. Can't wait to return in the spring to more flowers in bloom.

Significantly Smaller than the Houston Botanical Garden, but still worth a visit. It’s really a lovely place, with an established walking path and beautiful foliage. But what I actually enjoyed most was the large wraparound porch of the visitor center with the rocking chairs and array of seating. Sat there and chatted for hours while visiting.

A very beautiful place to visit. A lot of various plants to see. Under construction and can't wait to see it when it's completed. Would recommend anyone to stop by. Just remember sunblock and/or hat. There's not that much shade. I wish I came in the spring!
