As other reviewers have noted, the gardens are varied and the work that has gone into them is tremendous. If you are a gardener, bring your camera and take notes during Tom's tour so that you can add something special to your garden that you admired in his.
We stayed for high tea and were overwhelmed by the many delicious...

Asked in town for directions and drove right past the little tent card reading "Spindle Tree Gardens" Really could use a large permanent sign.

Children and adults alike will delight in the maze, and marvel at the curved greenhouse. The themes from Rose Garden to Herb Garden are endless....
After the tour, enjoy...

First of all, we arrived and stood around with another group, confused as to where we were supposed to pay. We all stood around for about 10 minutes until a lady... more
Gardens are spectacular! Wear good walking shoes. Gardens cover a few acres with many different types of gardens. Site has a beautiful pond with fish. Tom gives a very entertaining and knowledgeable garden tour. Well worth the cost.
Dining experience was very disappointing. Two of us had toasted sandwiches that were not only toasted but burned, third person had delicious...
