glen echo garden

My brother and his wife were married here in the summer and all the flowers and the nature made it an amazing place to get married. Lots of great places for photos and for the kids to run and have fun. Every thing was very beautiful.

Beautiful secluded garden(s) in the most unlikely location just outside of town, a total labor of love by the owner and his wife who clearly don't think any horticultural vision too grand, too impossible, to try to bring to life.

An absolutely amazing experience everyone should see. You can spend as much or as little time as you want. Our friend picked us up from the airport with a picnic lunch and we spent the afternoon there. The owner joined us and played the pan flute for us. What a bonus!!!! It is a MUST SEE and hear how it came about!!!

Meeting the owner and seeing the passion he has for his gardens is worth the stop. He has spent 8 years working on it and you can tell he loves what he is doing.

We enjoyed touring through the flower gardens. The owners have done so much to make this a lovely setting with the varied garden areas. It is very peaceful in the sunken gardens there, and you are free to roam at leisure on the trails. They give you a ride down there and will give you a lift when you are ready to leave.

Where can you go and discover Western Red Cedars dating more than 700 years surrounded by 15000 flowers. The gardens were breathtaking and the trees were awesome. But most of all the owners were friendly and proud to describe their jewels!

What a delightful afternoon spent in this beautiful garden with wonderful hosts Dick & Jenny. This couple is delightful and will go out of their way to accommodate you. I use a scooter to get around and they really looked after me. Many thanks Dick and Jenny for a lovely day.

It's a charge to visit I think like $6.00 and it is a walk down hill but sometimes you can get a ride down to the bottom of the hill. There is themed gardens such as the "blue garden" and there is a place for Weddings w/canopies.We also got a ride up the hill after we walked the gardens.

I participated in a benefit to help a young girl. The gardens were beautiful. The combination of the benefit (fund-raising) and the gardens was perfect. There was a comedy routine performed by The Upfront Theater, Music, the owner played his Ukelele - it was the highlight for me. The gardens were LOVELY - the flowers beautiful. The benefit made it even better because we set up tables and sweet little nooks, decorations, lights and candles everyone to light up the dark - MAGICAL. Just on it's own - still worth it - make sure you go when everything is in full bloom.

This "park" is a work in progress. What's done is gorgeous, colorful, and creative. The owners are exceedingly friendly, and clearly very proud of what they are building. My daughter has reserved this place for her wedding in 2013.

Beautiful gardens in the making - a project of love - we had a choir concert there and from the ride down into the hollow where the gardens were to the trip back to the parking lot - we were in a fantasy land of flowers and varied types of gardens - the rushing creek added its voice to the afternoon as well
