A small, but mighty botanical garden with everything free at your fingertips. This attraction did…read morenot disappoint. Upon walking into the garden, my friend and I were immediately greeted by one of the volunteers. She gladly gave us a map of the garden and asked if were interested in seeing a free movie to learn about the history of the garden and asked if we were wanting to go on the free boat tour as well. We gladly said, yes and was shocked that they so many payless amenities. I thought to myself out of all the botanical gardens I've visited over the years, this was by far the less expensive. The movie was fascinating. It was held in this big modernized auditorium. We were the only ones in there. Once the movie started, the room got really dark. Mr. Stark, a native and local of Orange, TX was inspired by the 1933 movie, The Lost Horizon (which can be found on Tubi), but Shangri La translates into utopia and paradise, so he sought out to make an impression in the small city by creating a place people can enjoy nature on 252 acres. The selection of plants are natives, annuals, perennials, some tropical plants (located in the greenhouses). The boat tour was a real treat! We were given instructions to remain safe on the water vehicle and put on life jackets. The tour was held on Adams Bayou where we saw ospreys, Christmas lichen on the trees, houses off the bayou, cypress trees with their huge roots, moss hanging from the branches, and even the bayou was filled with debris and trash. It definitely felt like we in a swamp. The boat ride was peaceful as the tour guides gave explanation of what we viewed. After the tour, my friend and I walked around the park observing all the beauties around. There wasn't a lot of plants in bloom yet, but nevertheless, the air was crisp and fresh. Great outing. They even have a restaurant/cafe on site. Shangri La exceeded my expectations!

We paid $10 for a butterfly, fed it some oranges, and then released it. Wine from Free State Cellars was there, sandwichs and macarons were made by them, too. Fantastic! Now about this garden, it's beautiful. They have put a lot of work into it since Hurricane harvey... and are doing a great job in making it more lucious each year. LOVE this place

I love Thrift & Gift because when you enter, it's almost like a step back in time. If you haven't…read morebeen before, it's a little confusing at first as the shop is actually located inside an old school and around the corner of the building -- just follow the signs and you'll get there :) I've found some really cool vintage clothing for amazing prices. For the past few months, they have had a 1/2 off all clothing sale and they even have a $0.50 rack. On the right side, there are two rooms full of clothing and shoes, mostly womens, but also children's and mens. On the other side are collector and handmade items as well as books and a few toys/games. If you make it there before 11 AM, they also have a "bargain room" & "holiday room" open on the other side of the school building. The ONLY downside is that they rely on mostly donations, so inventory is a little slower than some of the other thrift stores in the area that receive more donations, but I still manage to visit at least once or twice a month and find some neat items! Most, if not all, the workers are volunteers and every one I have come in contact with are incredibly sweet. Many of them make quilts and handmade items that are put up for sale or raffle inside the store. Definitely worth checking out!

This past weekend I brought my dogs (on leash) into the store and was immediately told no pets allowed. The employee directed me to enter through the middle walk way to enter.

I suggest this establish place signage so that those of us with pups who has enjoyed and supported this establishment for quite a while continue to do just that.
