Quick stop on our way from Door County to SW MN. Beautiful grounds, there were kids chasing small frogs, and the treehouse structure is awesome

Loved it nice trails, funny part the squirrel was way way up dropping nuts on me lol. Got free veggie in the produce rack you can't pick yourself in the garden but it was nice to see we found some goodie! Took our doggy too a bonus * I loved the outdoor kitchen area and bathrooms were very nice and clean. Was hoping we could of went inside the hut but it was closed off to the public . Trails were clear and flat except the grassy ones had dips over all great time.

This was a beautiful garden with lots of trails, a vegetable garden, and pretty flowers and plants. Entry was free. Very relaxing and quiet.
