ACCESSIBILITY
Please be aware that our gardens are not handicap accessible.
The garden layout is integrated into a lime rock quarry, and to access the lower levels, there is a steep ramp. However, for those exploring the upper trail, we have created wonderful overlooks. It's important to note that the trail isn't perfectly level throughout; there are changes in elevation and rocky, bumpy sections.
To provide accessibility to the overlook trail circling the quarry rim, we've installed ramps. From this vantage point, you can enjoy stunning views of the lakes and gardens below. Keep in mind that the overlook trail does have a few small inclines and occasional rugged surfaces. Accessibility depends on the design and size of the wheels on one's mobility scooter or wheelchair. Many guests have successfully navigated the upper trail with different models.
While we allow visitors to explore the lower level of the gardens, we want to emphasize that using the ramp with a wheelchair or similar mobile device requires strength and confidence.
On a positive note, our restrooms are considered wheelchair accessible. They were constructed with wheelchairs and powerchairs in mind, providing a more comfortable experience for all visitors.
