It overpriced , but it is FarmingdalePosted on Dauna DeMarsico JendrekTrustindex 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!) ????Posted on Shira TinerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
