Just Fabulous!
by rachelflorene
I found the Kubota Gardens on City Search. I read the other reviews and then checked out the garden's website.

It was beautiful, we had a wonderful time admiring the variety of plants, trees and flowers, the color contrasts were amazing. We will definitely go again!

- Pros: Easy access for wheelchairs

by JANINEALLINSON

- Pros: Beautiful, Fragrant, Good parking
