Reviews

The huge greenhouse is impressive, but my favorite part was actually the little medicinal plant garden all the way in the back. Super charming and easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. The path layout inside is kind of messy, so I wandered around a lot. Not a complaint, just something to know. The vibe is…
