I could not have asked for a more special day. I contacted Deirdre beforehand to plan my proposal to my fiancé, and they just made it so special. It was beautiful, pristine, and just perfect! This place forever holds a special place in my heart!

Small botanical gardens that is growing very well. Very helpful staff that are more than willing to help in any way. I have been to many botanical gardens and am awaiting the expansion of this great place.

We really enjoyed our visit. This is a one year old botanical garden that is a very nice place to visit. We were able to see it at no cost thanks to the reciprocal program they participate in and our membership at the Overland Park Arboretum. We caught the origami sculpture exhibit right before it was due to be removed. The artist did a wonderful job of placing the pieces in just the right areas in the garden and making our stroll that much more enjoyable. There are several signs on display showing what they hope to accomplish in the next two phases and I hope to be able to come back and check on their progress. I enjoyed seeing which plants were still in bloom and the small fairie garden that appeared to be created by children or others when visiting.

The Garden was in impeccable condition last weekend & it shows that this place is well taken care. The grasses, ‘steppables’ & fruit trees caught our attention along with the trees & shrubs all in Fall color. The sculptor on exhibit was origami artist Kevin Box& his work was nicely placed in the gardens. Existing sculptures are very appealing, too. Only negative comment is that we wanted to see more! The garden is expanding, so we’ll have to check back.

You can tell it is relatively new, maybe an acre currently open. Very nice, but not worth the $ 7 admission per person.

The Santa Fe Botanical Garde has 3 sites, the new Museum Hill Botanical Garden, the Ortiz Mountain Nature Preserve(was the old Cunningham Gold Mining area), and the Leonora Curtain Wetland Preserve. All three are a MUST see if you are visiting with children! The SFBG is focused on community education and creating sustaniable environments. You will love to walk and hike the beautiful trails — call ahead to the SFBG offices to arrange for a docent tour. An excellent way to spend the beautiful New Mexico Days!
