FAQ

  • Please note that our gardens are not handicap accessible. Because the property sits within a former lime rock quarry, visitors must use a steep ramp and navigate uneven terrain to reach the lower levels. We encourage you bring someone with you who can assist you if you plan to go to the lower levels.

    The upper overlook trail includes ramps and offers beautiful views of the lakes and gardens below, but it also features some minor inclines and rocky sections. Many guests with mobility scooters or wheelchairs explore the upper trail successfully. We designed our restrooms to accommodate wheelchairs and powerchairs for a more comfortable experience.
