Not only the museum itself but couple of blocks around it are all covered in mosaics.

There is no parking anywhere around, the only place is right tin front and its $17 for yo to 2h.

I was able to get everything I needed here for my tiny amateur container garden. This place has tons of herbs (the scent in their mint section is heavenly), an unexpectedly HUGE selection of peppers, basil, etc etc. Was also able to get some beets, tomato and cucumber plants. They have so many flowers and shrubs - I wasn't able to resist getting a beautiful hibiscus plant that reminded me of my Caribbean childhood. The staff was extremely knowledgeable - helped me plan my containers in such a way as to prevent overcrowding, helped me with soil selection and volume and the specifics of caring for my hibiscus. They carried everything to my car for me and packed the soil into my trunk. Any place that has dedicated parking always gets an extra point from me. They accept cards. Price is ok, not too $$$ but not the best prices ive ever seen but the place is convenient and I'm happy to support local.

The team, headed by Seth turned out to be another amazing part of EcoLandscapes - they are a friendly hardworking devoted group that knows the work and has a great deal of respect for the home owner's vision and needs. We worked closely each day checking on on the progress. The entire job was done with great care and is stunningly beautiful. I highly recommend that you take the time to meet with Daniel and allow him to help you figure out what it is that you really want for your property. He can do whatever it is that you want to create. and do it with perfection. Amazing

Dan is a creative, caring, and communicative business owner. His team, led by Seth, was an absolute pleasure to work with - they did a truly fantastic job and were so nice and helpful throughout. After they were done, we had a small issue with drainage (because right after they laid down the patio, there were torrential downpours for days, not allowing our pavers to settle). I'm not kidding when I say within five minutes of emailing Dan on a Friday evening to let him know, he called us to say he and Seth were coming over right away to take a look. Because of continued bad weather, they had to come back a few times over the next few weeks to make sure everything was good. Yes, they made our patio a little slice of heaven, but we were actually the most impressed with their post-project attentiveness and customer-focused desire to make everything right. Now we have a perfect space and can't wait to enjoy it over the summer! Highly, highly recommend!

It's definitely worth taking a stroll through. Be good to all the plants!

Live energy, little activity tables, and a small plant sale that was honestly very tempting. One of the coolest things I learned is that they have what's believed to be the oldest ginkgo tree in both North and South America. That alone made the visit feel a little special. I spent some time walking the trails and made my way around the water too. It's really pretty back there. Lots of flowers in bloom, open space, and quieter areas if you want a break from the crowd. I definitely liked the more shaded, tree-heavy sections the most. Some of the booths were set up fully in the sun and it got a bit intense after a while, so having those cooler, shaded areas made a big difference. Staff were very helpful and the trails are clearly marked, which made it easy to just wander without worrying about getting lost. Only downside is the location can be a little tricky to get to, especially if you're not driving. But once you're there, it's absolutely worth it. Overall just a really enjoyable, laid-back outdoor spot with a lot to explore. I'd come back, especially for another event.

None of which followed through with anything.

Luke, the owner, went above and beyond my expectations. My first call, I was called back almost instantly. He came when he said he would ON TIME!! He set dates , which unfortunately had to be changed 3 times. (Rain) But.... He texted, emailed or called. There was total communication from the very beginning. I can't tell you how refreshing it was to deal with someone who has work ethics. Who actually cares about the client. Before and after pictures will follow soon.

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.

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.

The Garden was exactly it. We walked through these really neat art exhibits to get through a indoor-outdoor space with food and drink trucks, and it was a lovely place to take a load off. While we were planning on getting food elsewhere, we did opt for a drink. My husband got a couple of beers, which he enjoyed. I am not a beer person, and I wanted to try a cocktail. I could've done any one of the ones they had, but I'm glad I went with the Toil & Trouble. This was one of my favorite cocktails I've ever had, and I can't wait to try to recreate it at home.
