The adjacent Plant Delights Nursery division sells more than 1,600 different perennials to satisfy even the most jaded gardener. Visit Juniper Level Botanical Garden to see why keen gardeners from around the world plan their vacations to include a visit here.
Juniper Level Botanical Garden and Plant Delights Nursery are only open to the public eight weekends each year for Open Garden and Nursery Days. During these open days, no visit requests are needed, although it helps the garden to know if you’ll be bringing a large bus group so they can properly reserve the needed parking space.
