15 acres of towering bamboo groves, winding paths, and peaceful retreats.
What to Expect
Walking paths wind through groves of timber bamboo reaching over 60 feet tall. Some of the largest bamboo in North America lives here.
Picnic areas are scattered throughout the grounds. Bring a lunch and find a quiet spot among the groves.
The koi pond sits at the heart of the gardens with a handmade waterfall. A perfect spot to sit and listen.
Dogs are welcome on leash. The paths are easy walking, suitable for all ages.
