Exceptional!!

It was an exceptionally beautiful day at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens! We arrived after a fourteen hour car trip from upstate NY (where there was still 2 feet of snow on the ground). We were greated by a gorgeous fountain, beautiful trees, and tulips!

The lady at the main desk was super kind and welcoming! The main indoor area had a stunning stained glass ceiling. The gift shop is so beautifully done. The lady there was also very kind and pleasant.

The gardens are easily walkable in an hour. Although not large, the gardens are filled with many interesting areas and beautiful trees and flowers! There are also many enjoyable water features. My boyfriend and I especially loved the stone thrones! The seats were cool and comfortable on a warm day. We also enjoyed the main fountain with the nice metal benches.

It is a quiet, relaxing, beautiful place! The day we were there they were doing some weed whacking. The noise got to be a bit much after a while. However, that means that they are taking exceptional care of the grounds.

We look forward to going to the gardens again on our next trip South.

It should be noted that there is ample parking. Bathrooms are easily accessible in the main building. The gift shop offers salads and snacks in the cooler. The gift shop also had a nice selection of natural drinks.

Thank you for a beautiful, memorable day!
