We visited the gardens for a wedding the past weekend. The grounds are nice but small and still very underdeveloped at this time. Their web site and brochure claim 7 acres but only 2 are currently developed at this time. Don't go here expecting to spend the day...more like 15 to 30 minutes tops.
I stumbled upon this attraction while visiting my elderly mother. It was a very beautiful and tranquil getaway to clear my mind. It's nicely maintained and easily accessible.
We needed a place to hold a group of 100 people, so we chose the Botanical Gardens. The group area, offered internet and access to the video system that allowed for everyone to view a screen. On break we could walk along the gardens which were wonderful. The facility was clean and well cared for. It is worth a visit to just walk along the gardens.
A great place to come stroll and look at gorgeous flowers in bloom. A great wedding or party venue. he patio is very nice as well. Staff is very friendly.
My husband & I visited the Gardens last weekend and thought it was absolutely beautiful! This was our first visit to the Gardens and did not know that the main building would not be open. It is only open Monday-Friday 9-5 so we missed the opportunity to go inside the main building. There was one area of the grounds that was being prepared for an afternoon wedding with a decorated, pink and white arch and tables were being set up around the arch. It would be a perfect setting for a wedding and we could see a bride "walking down the corridor" beside the plant areas.We took a lot of photos of the Garden, too many to keep track of the names of the plants but it was very worthwhile to visit and stroll around the entire complex and see where the future Amphitheater and Japanese Gardens will be built. I have shared my photos with this review but was unable to make a note of the names of each plant that we enjoyed seeing that day!
The Botanical Garden has been in existence for less than 5 years, but it has quickly become a place to go. Especially during tulip season! I love to go with my camera... the flowers and butterflies are very photogenic. Plan to visit other attractions, restaurants, shops or the park in downtown Kernersville. Perfect for weddings and other formal events.
As I walked around the botanical gardens, my senses were calmed. So many incredible varieties of beautiful flora and fauna to enjoy. I can envision a very special event here, very soon.
The flowers here in the summer are so pretty. Everyone should come here and take a stroll. I can not wait till they add on! Very well maintained. Also easy for anyone to get around.
My Mom and I had a very pleasant and enjoyable visit to the botanical garden. The garden is in development and will be a great place to visit over time to see the transformation of the open spaces. The staff is very friendly. They already have a good foundation with the garden with many species of varied plants. There is also a nice gift shop with local items of distinction. This is a wonderful place and how generous that the Ciener family has made this possible. Go and enjoy!
If you have just an hour or two, come to the Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden.This is a work in progress and what a job they have done so far!After you stroll around the gardens, take time to shop in their lovely little store.
