"Fun spot for a green thumb or anyone who enjoys viewing plants of a wide variety and from diverse locations. Small admission price to get in. Plenty of parking at the facility. Tour is self guided. Beware taking a camera inside due to the extreme humidity in some of the rooms. Seasonal displays are done in one of the rooms."
