 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Calgo Gardens is a magical place. It has gardens, plant nursery, Tulip Tree café, potting shed, gift shop, & more open spaces to adventure. It’s a gorgeous space for a family or friend outing. I found it on a whim and have been coming back for years. I hosted my 35th bday outing here because I wanted everyone I love to experience it too (the picture was my invite to my garden party!) ????

Everywhere you turn, there’s beauty — hand-crafted treasures from local artists, a nursery bursting with vibrant flowers, and a café that feels like a retreat with its delicious food and enchanting patio. It’s not just a place you visit, it’s an experience that awakens all the senses. With its workshops, events, and the way it radiates creativity and community, Calgo Gardens has a charm and magic unlike anywhere else.

The owners and staff are wonderful people and always available for assistance or suggestions. Visited today,8/18/25, the place is in full bloom. It's beautiful. Wait until you see the new bird houses.
