A little slice of paradise that we heard about by chance and we are so glad we visited. The garden is stunning and the owners are so friendly and passionate about their work. It is free to enter but donations are welcome. Do not skip this place on your trip!

We strolled down the beautiful park from the top enjoying the many exotic plants and trees that adorn each side of the pathway. We wandered to the path on the right to view the many Rhododendrons Hostas Trillon Plants and many more. At the end of the walkway was a lovely Deer Park.
