From the reviews

Absolutely beautiful gardens, well worth the visit. This place would make for a great photo-opportunity for a couple or family. It diffinitely would be a wonderful back drop for a wedding also. Really nice pond arra, with colorful koi fish, a beautiful bridge and nice flowing small waterfall.
