I heard it was a blossom in the garden. I went to see flowers. It was full of beautiful flowers of spring. This garden is one of its kind, and it is situated on an amazing land escape. The flower I was looking for wasn’t there. I closed my eyes for a minute and took a deep breath. And I said in my native language: “Koi keh de Gulaab se mere, Teri khushboo udaas hai aja. Then I felt her presence around me, and I was surrounded by a mysterious fragrance. This garden has an awesome cafeteria. It was full of people. I tried a cup of coffee. This garden also reminds me that the God of the heavens and earth has created this earth that has the ability to grow crops, plants and trees for humans and animals. He has created gardens in the heavens for righteous people. Underneath those gardens there will be streams of water, milk and honey.

Heard about this garden from a documentary featuring top 50 beautiful gardens in the world and it didn’t disappoint. I have relatives from overseas so we brought them to visit this garden. This place is beautifully designed. We didn’t have much time so we probably just saw half of the garden so we would definitely go back again.

Beautiful well curated garden with so many different sections of plants, flowers and trees to admire. It is extremely well maintained, clean and peaceful here. It is huge, tranquil and worth coming to. There are two major pieces of land to explore (bush area with a playground or the Australian gardens) which means plenty to see. They have incorporated water well into the landscape too. No need for a ticket but you can offer a donation or purchase something at their beautiful gift shop. There is plenty of parking. I love it here! Great place to have a picnic and plenty of space so you really don't have to worry about a crowd.

What a great place. Could easily spend a day here. Spring showcases many amazing Australian species in beautiful bloom. Many of the plants are labelled, which is great for garden lovers wanting to take note and add something new to their garden. There's so much to see, with plenty of rest spots and shade. Managed to spot lots of gorgeous wildlife - plenty of smaller birds and even a bandicoot! The gardens have a lovely gift shop, toilet and cafe/kiosk facilities, and is accessible to get around - with ramps and lifts. Would definitely like to come back and spend more time here.

Wow! These gardens are huge. We visited in early August and on a whim, arriving at 3.30pm. Definitely need a bare minimum of 2 hours here, so we didn't get to see the gardens properly. But what we did see is beautiful! So well set out and planted. Plenty of places to take a seat or have a picnic. There's a cafe there too and a gift shop. We'll have to come back to really explore the many vistas we had a glimpse of. Highly recommend.
