Had I never visited another Botanical Gardens, I would have enjoyed it and thought WOW! However, I have been to the San Francisco arboretum several times when I lived in CA.Amazing gardens, inside and out. And this last summer I had the opportunity to visit the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Having both of those to compare it to, this was nice, but nothing to write home about. I enjoyed the Christmas Ambiance provided by the GLOW program going on, The Gingerbread House display was charming and interesting. and the people working there were quite charming . I did enjoy it. dont get me wrong. It was just rather small considering the price and that the others were priced about the same.
