We were able to see the scarecrows and pumpkins out for the season which were used so well through out the entire garden. We were shocked at the beauty of this place! We had no idea! They have great evening and weekend activities planned - great for the family! Definitely make a visit!

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!

I went in looking for specialty soil and fertilizer, and with questions about a bug…read moreidentification/eradication issue. I walked out without anything, but very confident that I could fix my issues myself! They explained how to adjust my current soil to allow my succulents to drain better (a $2.50 fix instead of bags of specialty soil), my existing fertilizer will work fine for what I have, AND how to fix my bug issue. They didn't sell me a bunch of unnecessary things I didn't need, or plants that are more maintenance than I can handle. As a woman on a budget, I appreciate that SO MUCH! But while exploring I did notice an excellent variety of pest control options, specialty fertilizers, and nothing but healthy happy plants for sale. If you're looking for knowledgable staff, healthy plants, or ANYTHING you might want/need to keep your garden happy this should be your FIRST stop. I'm pretty sure it will be the only stop you need to make!

Very poor customer service. Went in asking if they had a specific "pest deterring" plant, was met…read morewith disregard. When the young lady worker walked in I tried asking her my question, she clearly saw me trying to talk to her but brushed me off/ignored me and instead went out to meet a food delivery driver for her milkshakes or sodas. She then went and helped two other people before allowing me to ask my question, even then I was met with a dismissive attitude. Young lady told me "we don't have those this time of year" as if I should have known that. I have never had plants before. Didn't even recommend anything similar to what I was looking for so I left and I won't be coming back.
