Make sure to get a map at the visitor center so that you don’t miss any of the smaller areas of the gardens. The gardens are very diverse with over two dozen different sections including a tropical conservatory, Japanese garden, flowering plains and bonsai trees. Very colorful with flowers blooming everywhere!
The main pathways are paved. Most of the smaller paths are hard packed, crushed stone which is easy to roll along. There are some obstacles such as steps, narrow sections and bumpy stone pavement. Most of the gardens can be seen but a little backtracking may be necessary. The top level of the conservatory is accessed by a old, kind of decrepit elevator.
Vans can be parked on the top level of the garage but RVs are too heavy. We were told that it’s okay to park in front of the building in the indentation for buses as long as there isn’t a sign saving the spot for buses. Park but then ask if it really is okay. There’s also plenty of parking along the street in Cheesman Park, outside the west end of the gardens but it’s a half a mile from the garden entrance. The best way to get to the gardens from the park is along 11th Ave – good sidewalk and curb cuts. Gardens
