I shot a maternity session there the other day and it is absolutely beautiful! Mom was pretty far along so we didn’t go all the way through the gardens. I have to save that for another day. What we did see was gorgeous and total spring time. We went early because we knew it would get hot fast and we were right. It’s a beautiful place to stroll through. Very peaceful, beautiful flower colors and butterflies! BTW, for photographers, you have to call them if you’re going to do a photo shoot with any props or gear. They were fine with us going with just the camera and shooting along our way.

Expensive for such a place which offers almost nothing. This garden need attention and improvement! The park has a big potential. At this time I am not impressed! The garden possesses nice plants and trees. No animal. Facilities are in subpar condition. Filthy and has no attendance to clean. Shame on people who come and behave like pigs!!!

The gardens themselves are very nice. But I have to be honest that the location costs it a couple of stars. Surrounded by tattoo parlors and strip clubs (which I assume probably weren't there originally when the gardens were first established) and, most annoyingly, it's literally across the street from Palm Beach International Airport. Consequently, the peacefulness of the gardens is disrupted every few minutes by a jet landing. They could also benefit from having more of a distinction between the different garden types. I mean it's obvious when you move into the vegetable garden or the zen garden but less so when moving from like the rose garden into one of the others. Overall a pleasant 2 hours and I do cautiously recommend a visit. Just try to focus on the beauty of the gardens and not the surroundings. (Note that when we went, 12/30/21, the front entrance was undergoing renovations so you have to use a side entrance. I'm not taking anything off for that though. It shows that they want to keep the place in good condition).

5/5 stars. Had an enjoyable time here. Weather was perfect for an outside visit. Overall, a 2 + hour experience if you take your time and enjoy everything the garden has to offer. They also sell plants themselves at a reasonable price. I’d rather buy here than Home Depot. One can certainly get lost in its beauty. Nice getting away from the urban area for once.
