Venue Features
The scene:
The setting is so beautiful with rolling topography and an ever changing landscape with different plants and garden accents because we are an active garden business. We also have chickens and goats on the premises for fun. The rich history of the greenhouses and business dating back to 1890 make this truly one of the most unique venues. It is large enough to host over 300 guests, but has so many interconnected structures that you could scale it down to be a very intimate gathering.
Standout venue features:
There are so many ways to utilize the different spaces to accommodate the needs of your event. If for example you wish to use the outdoor Amphitheater for a ceremony, we have the flexibility to moving that part of the evening inside to an adjacent greenhouse in case of inclement weather.
Extra perks:
We have a fabulous full service florist that can handle all of your floral needs and we like to use locally grown flowers as well as tropical plants and leaves for interesting texture when appropriate from our own greenhouses. You are not charged setup fees for the flowers if you use our facility. We are also flexible on allowing you to decorate and put your own personal touches in our space for up to 3 days prior to your event depending on other scheduled events. Since we are a full service florist, garden store, greenhouse and landscape nursery, there are opportunities to utilize many of our plants and garden accents as props to add unique details to your decorating. You have an advantage of using your own caterers and supplying your own beverages.
