They are located on the hills of the wild Tohickon Creek - an unlikely spot but an inspired one. Shrubs, trees, and flowers are local but others have traveled a great distance to be here.

Group tours are available upon request. If you want to enjoy unique gardens, check out this hidden gem in Bucks county!

We had been here decades ago so we knew we needed to revisit while in the area since this is one of…read morethe best gardens in the country. Not a cheap place at over $30 for most admissions even with some minor discounts. Since we didn't know our exact schedule we took a chance and did not buy a timed admission in advance even though they recommend it. It was going to be another super steamy day for late May so we arrived a bit after they opened at 10am. Everyone else had the same idea. Luckily we were able to buy a ticket on the spot without waiting on line since we used one of the kiosks. There were tons of grade school groups that were running through most exhibits - it appeared their favorite was getting wet from the fountain show's spray! This place is huge with lots of walking but there is enough shade to keep out of the 90 + degree heat. All of the volunteers were super friendly and helpful. Eager to answer all questions and give directions. We covered a lot of ground in three hours and saw all the highlights including two of the fountain shows, the conservatory, the bonsai exhibit, the Italian water garden and the house. Don't miss the behind the scenes exhibit on the pipe organ - fascinating! Everything was beautiful. What an impressive place. No wonder it's so popular.

It's not unusual to see artists, classes, and families at Morris. Despite this, it never feels crowded. We love Morris so much that we joined their membership program a few years back; it's a membership that we keep active. The community programming is a nice add, and we've even picnicked here once. We appreciate the nods to the community (e.g., the scaled down Chestnut Hill West SEPTA stop), and the areas of Morris that speak to all members of the family. We'll definitely be back.

When we arrived at the gate, we showed the email receipt and then were allowed to drive up to the welcome center and a small parking lot onsite. We arrived just in time for the tour that they give at 1pm every day. The tour is customized to the attendees. Our tour guide was Janet. She was great and we learned so much. I would recommend the tour if it's your first time visiting. Unfortunately, the Out on a Limb tree adventure exhibit was closed to the public on the day we visited. But we'll probably be back again later this year because we really enjoyed our time there.
