The Rose Garden features over 1,400 varieties of roses, making it one of the largest collections in North America. Visitors can immerse themselves in the fragrance and beauty of the flowers while enjoying educational programs and guided tours that showcase the garden's rich biodiversity. Families and individuals alike will find spaces designed for relaxation and learning, such as the children's garden where kids can engage with nature through hands-on activities.
