We were pleased to find there is no charge to visit the botanical gardens which is part of the Butterfly Conservatory. The botanical gardens are sprawling over well maintained acres of land with exotic plants, hedges, trees and flowers. Due to Covid, some areas were closed with fences. But there was plenty to see and walk around. Humble request to visitors not to touch or pick on the flowers, leaves and fruits; some could be highly poisonous. There was a family picking Horse Chestnuts from the ground in bags. I cautioned them that not only they are extremely bitter but they are poisonous as well. They didn’t listen and countered that they need to be cooked before eating.
A little far from the actual conservatory but still decent.
Easy and Enough spots for parking. $3 per hour as of August 2020.
The parking is not very optimized. The lot is large though. The issue is figuring out how the layout works but it's still somewhat intuitive. You enter one area and leave another but there is an extra area only for buses so don't go through there.
