Why it's listed — and what we can confirm

From the reviews

Beautiful gardens, colorful flowers and a serene place to stop by and relax at. Entrance is 5 dollars and operation hours vary so I would recommend checking online or calling to see when they are open. A wonderful place to host events at with gorgeous scenery and floral decorations.

Corporate events, retreats, or private parties come up for Sherman Library & Gardens — greenhouse venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends.

If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
