点评:My wife and I drove right past the entrance which had a tiny, hard to notice sign, but the small parking area was neat and orderly. Entry was gained with a recommended $5 donation. The azaleas were not in bloom (mid-July), but there were a few other flowering plants along with a lot of large bushes and a wide variety of native trees including a towering pine, several pitch pines and other evergreen varieties. The grounds were well maintained. The map was easy to follow, but the layout required you to backtrack occasionally if you wanted to see the entire place. The rather narrow paths were easy to walk, although when encountering other visitors one or the other had to make way. The water features added greatly to the overall experience. However, a bit of the overall peacefulness was removed when traffic from the adjacent main road passed by. And some of the best water photo angles were plagued by utility wires a few feet from the edge of the property. Overall, it was more than worth a visit, but I doubt we'll visit again until the azaleas are in full bloom in the spring.
