Western Kentucky Botanical Garden, Owensboro

First time at botanical garden and enjoyed it. Just wished the maps/brochure and donation box was relocated from old entrance to new one. We did not find brochures until the end of our trip through garden. Easy walking paths throughout and benches available for those that need them or would just like to sit and enjoy the view.

A hidden gem located around an historic mansion. Great place for special events like bridal showers and weddings as was happening on the day we stopped for our first visit. We were greeted by a very friendly volunteer and enjoyed a beautiful walk in the gardens. What delightful place with many exhibits.

There is much to see and enjoy in these gardens. We were impressed by the daylily garden that had myriads of flowers, with not one dead one visible. It takes a lot of work to remove all the previous blooms from that many plants. We also enjoyed the little greenhouse with orchids and other exotic plants. The lady working in the house that admitted us was awfully talkative. We wish she had started us out at the beginning of the path, rather than walking us through the building and just pointing straight ahead. We couldn't make sense of the map until we eventually reached the spot where the entrance used to be and they had signs to point where things are.

Such a beautiful area! Theres a welcome center that you can get a walking map at & they have restrooms as well. Its full of beautiful daylilys and water features and greenery. Worth the visit if you're in the area or even make a day trip out of. The cost is $5

Experience was very quant, peaceful, and take at your own pace. There appeared to be areas where how to classes and workshops might be held. There was a area for children with a playhouse and colorful gardens. Nice place to unwind.
