After driving for 4 hours, it was refreshing stop to relax a bit. There were a few flowers showing along the pathways. We kept following the winding pathways all the way up and around. Although it is difficult to blot out the roaring 287 traffic, we are glad we made found this garden.
Very unusual rock formations with plants in and between them. Unique. Gave me lots of good ideas on which plants to place on my own property. Neatly kept.
I go here frequently, it is in a valley so there is a sense of being surrounded by nature. The plants are mostly naturally occuring, with some plantings of flowers and shrubs. also there may be birds, not handicap accesible. Don't go within 3 days of heavy rain.
An absolutely beautiful place for wedding pictures. My daughter had her preview there. Her fiance was waiting for her on one bridge, while the parents and bridal party looked on from the other bridge. Afterwards, we took pictures by the water. I can't wait to see the pictures when they come in, but I know they will be beautiful.
We visited on a weekend when they were giving complementary tours. It really added so much to have someone who could explain the history of the place along with all of the flowers and vegetation. We were probably three weeks ahead of peak bloom, but still enjoyed the natural beauty of the grounds and flowers and trees already in bloom.
The Buck Garden is an outstanding example of humans working together with Mother Nature to create a living work of art. I especially enjoyed seeing the rustic wooden hand rails and bridges incorporated throughout this woodland rock garden, with its many rare flowers, shrubs and trees. We will have to return during the Fall and next Spring.
Went to this part with my mother and father to walk through, for my mother and I loved to observe all the wonderful flowers that surround the walkpaths of this garden.
I have taken a number of visits to Leonard Buck gardens and enjoyed each time. Winding paths take you through various flower beds and rock formations. The pond with a bridge is very serene. Your visit can be done in 30 minutes or 2 hours depending on your pace. It is a short ride from the USGA Golf House and museum so a combined visit is doable.
Very beautiful gardens. Kinda small property so you can cover the entire place in short time. Large variety of plants. Bring a camera to capture all the colorful flowers. Clean and well maintained.
It's a lovely garden with nice paths and places to sit -- can't wait for the Spring flowers! We usually go every month or two and it is very peaceful.
