If you’re local, I highly recommend an annual membership. The gardens are a perfect size for a quick peaceful stroll or you can stay longer and enjoy the exhibits that change throughout the year. With the membership, you can get extra passes to bring guests – good deal if you can go multiple times with the pass. There is also a little kids area where they can stack wood and play!
