Such a beautiful and peaceful setting, located next to and run by the Sandhills Community college. The paths are easily navigated, some wooden, some gravel and mostly shaded with benches along the way. This is totally free to enjoy and I was surprised that it wasn't crowded at all. There are different gardens to explore such as a Japanese garden, rose garden, children's vegetable garden and more with several statues along the way. I love to explore places like this and it is definitely a place I would return to when in the area.

[Coronavirus review] Not being local, I stopped in the middle of a road trip for a zoom call and wanted somewhere I could sit in peace. It worked out very well, and I was able to traverse the grounds during and after my call, and I must say it has to be the most impressive community college-affiliated land I've ever seen. The garden has numerous diverse and well-maintained sections, swamp included. It was very kid-friendly, and there was plenty of space to spread out. And it was free. What more could you ask for?

Suuupperrr underrated walking spot. Kudos to the horticulture department for the beautiful landscape they have created and continually upkeep here. There is so much to admire here, especially in comparison to other walking areas in Moore county, such as the reservoir, waymouth woods, etc. The sandhills gardens have beautiful plant life, fountains, architectural features, a greenhouse, and newly installed sculptures. Plenty of shade for strollers! A great way to spend a slow morning or afternoon. Well done.

What a great, well-kept secret!!!! We've lived in this area off and on for over 50 years and never knew this existed!!!! It is beautiful, well maintained, and has many different gardens, with numerous paths...concrete, dirt, as well as wood planked (through the natural wetlands)... to allow you to see it all. It is much larger than it appears from the entrance, and there are various benches and other areas to stop and sit and take it all in. Restrooms are available, both in the main building at the entrance, as well as out in the gardens themselves. The ones in the garden are surrounded by gardenia...nature's air freshener!!!! Great place!!! We will definitely be back. I'm sure there are places we missed amongst all the winding trails!!!! If you go, be respectful, and keep it as clean as it was when we were there!!!!

Beautiful surprises at every turn

This is truly a hidden gem. Different areas and themed gardens all around. They even have a small Childrens garden area.

One of the little brooks with a waterfall along the path.

Beautiful place. Relaxing, enjoyable. Worth going for a walk or seating by the waterfall. Get a membership definitely worth it.

I liked that there was seating along the way if someone just wants to relax and take in the beauty of nature.

How to lose a good customer over less than a dollar! I often…read moreshop at Burney True Value Hardware as it is convenient and I have always liked to support local businesses over the chains like Home Depot and Lowes. Today, was my FINAL shopping experience at Burney. I had purchased a few screws for a project a week or so ago and didn't need them. Today, I tried to return them and buy some more items. I thought I had the receipt in the bag but I did not seem to have it with me. I asked if I could return them without the receipt. The total for the four screws was a whopping .82. I was told that they couldn't return them without the receipt as they have hundreds of SKU numbers and they wouldn't know which one I was returning. This made logical sense until I looked at my bag a little further. The gentleman that helped me pick out the screws didn't seem to write down the SKU number on my bag! How was it rung up when I purchased it? I assume by some generic key that charged me the .82, the same generic key that could have refunded my .82! Sorry Burney you lost me for good over this one, shame on your staff!

Do not buy your Stihl equipment from here. I bought a ton from there and soon as a pole saw gets a…read morecracked gear head they tried to price gauge me when it's under warranty. The tech called Stihl and sent them pictures trying to get them to deny doing the warranty. The saw had a scratch from where it sits on my trailer. The tech told Stihl I did some crazy stuff when he didn't even know. So Stihl denied it. I called Stihl and they told me they don't know why the tech called and sent them pictures trying to get it denied but they said yea clear warranty problem. I've emailed the store several times trying to speak with a manager and the won't respond. They kept my saw for two months before they called me and said we can't fix under warranty. Now I have to take saw to different shop out my area. Sorry place. Hate I spent so much money there

I have shopped at multiple Lowe's all over North Carolina. Usually it's like pulling teeth to find…read morean employee that works there eager to assist and help with what you are looking for. Well I finally found one. I was looking to buy 26 bags of gravel for a job I am doing and I'll be. Walked by Garrett from lawn and garden stepped up to us and asked if we needed help. That's a first. Then he proceeded to load up a pallet of the 26 bags of rock while I went to pay at the register. He had it load and pulled around waiting for us and help loaded it on the trailer. I am currently on hold trying to get in touch with a manager to let them know what an exceptional employee they have. But been on hold for over 10 mins now. .

On 5/30/2026 I went to purchase supplies for lawn work and buy a grill. At checkout I was told I'd…read morehave to pay for grill at customer service desk separately. So I did. The employees loading the grill complained about it was hot and they were ready to go home several times, the other employee was rough and just threw the grill on the back of my truck. Neither of them were professional or friendly. The lid was dropped several times ending up with dents. No one expressed they were sorry, once loaded they both just walked away. Over the past month I spent approximately $2000.00 at Lowe's. I purchased a refrigerator and landscape blocks and then on 30th I spent approximately $500.00. I won't be going back there and will recommend to my family and friends not to purchase from there. Your employees represent your company so you would think they would be more interested and polite.
