Rose Garden

Check out the calendar for any special events or festivals happening during your visit! I stumbled upon a live music event that made the experience even more enjoyable.

If you're into photography, get there right when the garden opens at 7:00 AM. It's less crowded and the morning dew really makes the flowers pop.

Bring a picnic! There's plenty of grassy areas where you can chill and enjoy your snacks while soaking in all those stunning flowers. It can save you a good chunk of money on food.

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. You'll want to stroll around and explore every nook and cranny of the garden, and trust me, flip-flops won't cut it.
Japanese Garden
Lan Su Chinese Garden
Don’t miss the guided tour – it really brings the garden's history to life! I found out so many interesting details I would have otherwise missed.

Bring a camera, but also take some time to just be present. I got so caught up in taking photos that I almost forgot to just enjoy the tranquility of the place.

Look for any special events or performances before you visit! They sometimes have tea ceremonies or cultural events that really enhance the experience.
Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The cafe is a bit pricey and has limited options, so it's nice to have a picnic instead.
One thing I wish I had known is that the path can get a little tricky if it's wet. So, watch your step and maybe bring some shoes that can handle mud.

I think it's worth paying attention to the seasons. I visited in June and the blooms were stunning, but I've heard spring is even better, so plan according to what you want to see.
