Well labeled. Great groupings of plants and plant representations, descriptions. Very informative. Easy to walk around the beds. No ticket required.

The garden is very beautiful from the top of the stairs. Unfortunately, that's as far as I could go since it is not wheelchair accessible.

All photos are taken and distributed by Be Photographed. Beal Gardens is such a great spot when I take photos for couples. It’s an easy walk, beautifully tended, and every plant is labeled which makes exploring it feel like a little adventure. I even saw a stunning wedding here, and the whole space felt calm, natural, and perfect for wedding photography. With no admission fee and tons of greenery, it’s a wonderful location for portraits, engagements, or a relaxed stroll through the gardens.

Excellent specimen garden with plants divided into sections corresponding to human use of the plants. Located near the river (and a bridge to the stadium), the location is a great place for a walk and an opportunity about a diverse range of plants and wildlife.

There were many varieties of tall trees, cool flowers, and beautiful plants at Beal Botanical Garden! I had fun reading the poetry posted throughout the garden. There were cute little duck families swimming through the pond and friendly squirrels. The pond was a particularly nice spot to sit quietly and observe the world. I found the injurious plant section to be fascinating as well as the perfumed plants. Parking was better after 6pm. I highly recommend taking a trip to Beal Garden.
