From the reviews
Beautiful grounds with a smaller art gallery within it. The Baker house was beautiful from the outside and a gardener/groundskeeper there had us rub the buttered popcorn plant and smell the popcorn smell, and that was super cool. Gorgeous flowers, would be an awesome spot to have a wedding or event at.
Beautiful gardens, pleasant trails, intriguing art! Love the convenience they supply with hosting parties and crafts you can do on location!
