Walk next to the JJ Bean coffee shop to enter Park and Tilford Gardens. Explore the eight blended themed gardens, including the Oriental, White, Rock Pool, Native, Herb, Display, Colonade, and Rose gardens. With over 300 plants, it is a well-maintained and pleasant space that feels larger than it looks.

Stay in the garden as the golden light hits the foliage. The garden is open until dusk, so you have time to linger among the plants as the afternoon softens.

Park & Tilford Shops & Gardens
Stroll over to the Park & Tilford Shops & Gardens. This outdoor shopping mall is built around the unique garden you just visited, allowing you to browse the shops in the same historic setting.
Local tip
The garden is free and open until dusk. If you plan to visit in December, note that the garden opens at night, but for a daytime plan, arriving before golden light ensures you catch the best natural illumination.
