We had the pleasure of decorating a surprise proposal at Waterfront Botanical Gardens and it was absolutely beautiful. Mission accomplished — she said yes! ❤️ We highly recommend this stunning place and look forward to creating more beautiful events here in the future!

Really beautiful plants & landscape. The path was amazing with a slow gradual incline making it extremely wheelchair accessible throughout the entire walk. Can’t wait for the expansion!

Visited for the Bonsai exhibit. The exhibit was absolutely magical! The trees were so impressive. We also took time to walk around the gardens. Very impressed with the variety of plants. They have big plans for expansion so we will definitely come back!

Beautiful little place. Stunning gardens, lovely water fountain, plus a little trail past waterfalls. They are currently expanding the gardens so there is a lot of construction. But it was wonderful to stop by and see. The entry is feee but you can donate to the project using the QR code at the entrance of the garden.

New and currently renovating botanical garden. The setup already is quite nice and promising. The garden is a bit small at the moment but still with plenty of events and some nice spots to lounge and enjoy. In the future, once it is fully setup, it will be very nice.
