We went to see the Spirit Guides exhibition but quickly got drawn into the rest of the garden. There are native plants and plants from Asia, all marked with signs. We also found places where we could just sit in silence and listen to the water. Beautiful water lilies and many dragonflies. A wonderful place for walks and relaxation.

It's a beautiful garden in the scope of Sonoma County. Exhibits are nice and the staff is friendly. Is larger than what you'd think would be in Sonoma county but smaller compared to botanical gardens in major cities. $17 dollar baseline fee ($8 for my teacher friend). The pond in the middle is biggest highlight (I could spend an hour relaxing there) but the rest of the spots are mostly nice to quickly by and observe.

If you go at this garden alone, it has a very special way of making you feel alone but surrounded the plants are lovely. The staff are hospitable and the garden is meaningful. The walk is kind and it is very hard to get lost as they have planned this walkout pretty well. It is a good place to go both alone and with a friend. I will be going back often.
