I was there past peak but still took hundreds of photos! The iris were simply amazing. What a joy this garden is. Must see while in bloom. End of may is best.

The heat killed most of the flowers. I'm sure tgey are so pretty in spring. The grounds are beautiful for a picnic and walking around.

Beautiful gardens! Impeccably maintained. Some of the Irises are over 100 years old, and all are labeled with the variety and year. Peak bloom in May.
It's a public park, but they take donations. There is only parallel street parking. But I've never had an issue finding a spot.

The gardens are amazing when the irises are at their peak. Definitely worth the trip. Check the website for the best times to see the irises.

Beautifully maintained gardens wit by a wide variety of Iris. They have picnic tables to eat, and the area is large enough for kids to play. Street parking only, but there is parking in the rear for a more secluded park.

It was an awesome breathtaking experience. The people who worked there were quite kind and talkative. All the plants were very well kept and exquisite. But, I would rate it a 4.8 because it was a little small, can't really blame them, but slightly, ever so slightly underwhelming.

Well maintained gardens with nice benches to sit and relax. We spent close to two hours lounging here while our kids played and ran across the garden and had great fun. There is also a nice play area right across the road.
