Hollis Garden

Yes.

Lake mirror is right next to Hollis Gardens. A picnic basket is a great idea!

Not in the garden directly but just feet away is a quaint little bistro that over looks Lake Mirror and just a short walk away are several pubs and restaurants in the historic downtown area.

I believe there are

Yes it's Free and a must go place if you are there

Ive seen dogs on a leash walking around the lake but not specifically within the gardens area.

Yes they are

Yes the right hand side has ramps that go up im not sure if you can reach the middle this way but i am pretty sure as i have a stroller with me everywhere i go

Yes

My mother did a few weddings there many years ago. Its a beautiful place for one. Call them to see if they still do it. You wont be disappointed. Its a beautiful venue.

No charge. If you want to give a donation there is a box but you don't have to give a donation.

Yes you can it's now much of a ride but there is space to ride your bike enjoy!

You can go exchange vows yes

Actually I just took my maternity photos last Thursday and when we called they said they chose at 8pm. But call to make sure for the day you are going.

No, food and beverage aren't allowed. However there is a park next door with tables.

I would think that they can do any size wedding just give them a call

You can take all the pictures you want. The location is just a favorite of a lot of local photographers, so you'll often see them taking clients there for the setting of the gardens and lake.

According to Trip Advisor dogs are NOT allowed.

No

No, even not food.

No dogs are allowed in the park but service dogs.

No

It's called the Garden Bistro, I think it's 11-3 M-F, closed Sunday and reduced hours Saturday

Around the lake, next to Barnett Family Park.

No membership is required to enter Hollis garden it's open to the public.

Yes.

On weekdays the park is fairy quiet and peaceful, so it would be a good place then. Weekends however the park gets very busy.

Yes no idea how much but several around there....the magnolia building is one.

There's a parking lot right by the entrance

Wonderfully Free. A good bistro, and be sure to walk around Mirror Lake!

They say it is for security reasons. Its basically a public park.

There's signs around explaining what some of the plants are plus there are usually some employees a nearby if you have a tougher question. They don't do formal tours though.

Depends. If you want the event solely in the garden I think it's not very much, they also have an event building next to the gardens that you could have your reception etc in but idk how much that would be.

I would doubt you can in the actual garden, but the park is near by.
