Absolutely gorgeous! To think they just work with volunteers and the place looked great. If youre looking for a place to have a quick lunch, a celebration, some exercise or just a peaceful moment, this is the place to go. I love it!

If you have never came here I recommend you check it out especially during the spring time with flowers blooming! It was super pretty today and way bigger than I expected. They had a lot of benches where you could sit and relax. Overall it was super calming to come to the gardens and this was only my first time! I will definitely be coming back!

Very cute place to go!! They have several different gardens including a childrens garden. There are mock yards to help you get started on your own yard as well. Very informative. Lots of seating and shady spots. The volunteers that work there are very knowledgeable and had been working there for years. Theres also a large park next door if you and the kids want to make an adventure out of it. Its a hidden gem for sure.

Fun place to visit in a large city. Very quiet and well kept. Volunteers are so friendly. Purchased an art rock that one of the volunteers makes for $20 as my donation.

Beautiful garden with some well thought out pathways. I like how they divided the garden into different plant types and there’s plenty of spots to sit down and enjoy the views. Because of COVID some of the exhibits were a little wild or dried out, but it only added to experience. You can walk the whole garden in about an hour. But bring an umbrella for shade if you come during the summer. Only con, some parts of the garden are too close to the road/road noise.

Beautiful and peaceful place to walk around, even though is small is great to see, if you have small kids take them there and pretend is a magical garden they would love it... experience talking also you can a plan a picnic there! Already did, was wonderful with kids. (Theres beautiful trees, patio decor and many flowers but still a small but nice place).

Its cute. The entrance is the nicest part of the garden. The further in you go the less green and less maintained it gets there were some l. They have a small monarch butterfly(i think) zone but all the plants were dead They have lovely bushes of flowers that look similar to sun flowers, but A LOT of the flowers were covered in Mealybugs.Definitely donated to the garden.

We hosted a family event at the Clovis Botanical Garden. The facility was clean, the grounds were gorgeous and even though it was in the middle of August, everyone enjoyed our time together. Highly recommend the Garden for large group events—we had over 60 in attendance.

Review №47

It was free so no entrance fee. There were so many plants & it was great. It had all the names & locations of the origins of the plants. Also there were locations where it has info on what to look for when hiring someone for your sprinkler system, the types of soil, & plants for which type of care or weather. So much info & the worker was extremely pleasant

Great local botanical garden located in the Clovis/Fresno area of Central California. Docents are usually around and sometimes Master Gardeners are on hand to answer plant questions. Very educational, especially if you are looking for plants that use less water. Plants bloom and look great with some variance with the time of year/season so make several trips to really appreciate their beauty. This botanical garden can be viewed in 20-30 minutes or an hour or two depending on your interest. I highly recommend visitingg this garden.

The place was much smaller than I imagined and there isnt a lot of shade. So we didnt spend long here. But it was free and we got to see a few interesting plants. There is a park next to it where the kids could play, which also didnt have a lot of shade except on the playground equipment for the really little kids.

This is a nice little garden with a good selection of plants. Labeling is not consistent and I had to rely on an app on my phone to identify many specimens. Overall a good experience.

Best park in Clovis! Plenty of shade and all kinds of play structures for different ages. We love the new musical area that was recently donated to the park as well. It can get a little too crowded on the weekends, though.
