We visited these gardens for the first time in 2022 and got lucky with the timing, hitting the peak of the tulip bloom. It was the best tulip display I have seen outside of the Pacific Northwest...

The .5 acre garden has nice views of Lake Shawnee and a variety seating areas separated by plantings and connected by wandering walkways.

We would have given it a 5 star rating, but the tulips weren't in full bloom. We went with a group of 14 and Tracy gave us a wonderful tour. She made the gardens come alive and filled in a lot of...

Great park and floral garden! Why wouldn't you stop here?? Nice paved walkways stretching through beautifully shaped floral works. Bench's to sit in the sun, hidden places to sit in the shade, gazebos, water features, big lake, restrooms, easy parking, easy to get to, and it's in a nice area that allows you to feel safe. If you are just driving by on I-70, it's a short detour that's well worth the entry fee....FREE FREE FREE 🤠. If you are visiting, it's a must!!! Wheelchair access as well and great walkways for that need.

I was truly taken off guard by how stunningly beautiful this garden was. There was a ceremony being set up for a wedding there when we visited and honestly it got me inspired as well. The gardens sit right on the lake so you can sit and enjoy the beautiful colors of the flowers or the peaceful sounds of the waves here. We only had time for the garden this trip but it definitely made me interested to come back and explore more of the park in the future.

Love Ted Ensley Gardens! Especially at Tulip 🌷 Time! There are so many spots that I couldn't post them all waterfalls, statues, gazebos. It's just beautiful

We visited for the Tulip Fest and it was amazing. This is our second year visiting the garden and it is very well managed and decorated. A fun place to be with friends and family on a nice spring day.

This is a lovely public garden that served as a stunning setting for my two friends' small intimate wedding. The pavilion was luminous against a pristine backdrop of snow and ice curated trees. Even in winter, this is a lovely place.
