Peaceful secure place to walk. Paths are all paved and what grass you’re gonna walk over is mowed.
Beautiful native garden with so much thought given to the experience while walking through the garden. Totally recommend a visit. Sit on a bench, close your 5 breathe!
We had time to see one thing in Lexington on our way home, and The Arboretum was what we picked. It was a good decision, even if it was a hot day for it. Love seeing all the native plants, though we often wished there had been a bit more signage.
The arboretum is so beautiful and a good size, not too big or small. It’s well maintained and plenty of easy walking paths. There’s no admission to the main garden but we would love to have gone to the children’s garden but it was closed the day we went. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it while you’re in Lexington.
The gardens are absolutely beautiful. The insects, birds, and rabbits are everywhere. It’s well maintained and the staff is very friendly. It’s free and fun for the whole family. There are numerous paved paths for walking, jogging, or taking the kids for a stroll. The trees are absolutely gorgeous.
