Luthy Botanical Garden

Luthy Botanical Garden

(8 reviews)

Wha a lovely stop on my day trip today! I loved observing the winter phase of the outdoor gardens…read moreas well as the permanent art pieces and sculptures. The real treat was the greenhouse space though! I really love to learn all the names of everything around me and they're all expertly labeled with large font which my group appreciated. And nice that admission is free! Be sure to leave a donation though.

Review Visit: October 21st, 2012…read more A neat little garden tucked away in the corner of Glen Oak Park. Like many things on my travel list, Luthy's was one that I never heard of until I started looking around for things to do and places to visit. Discovering that there was a botanical garden next to the Peoria Zoo/Glen Oak Park was a surprise as I had been through the area a handful of times but never noticed it before. Sure, I saw the signs along the roads in Peoria but I figured it was nothing more than a place to buy flowers. A quick Google search soon proved I was way wrong. Doing what I do best, I loaded my car up with a few people and set out to see what the Luthy had to offer. If I remember right, there was a small parking lot available to use despite the fact the gardens is tucked away in this recreational area. We approached the front entrance and headed in. There is no fee to access the gardens but donations are very appreciated. After talking to the person at the entrance, we dropped a few bucks in to a donation box and headed towards the first part. The first place was kind of a greenhouse garden. It was inside a building that facilities the growth and sustainability to a multitude of flowers and plants. I am no green thumb but the fact that they could have so many different species in a small space was impressive. Also, they had a bunch of Nightmare Before Christmas decorations up at the time of our visit. Seeing as it was 10 days before Halloween, this must be how they were decorating for that year. I'm not a big Nightmare fan but it was cool to see them use that movie to spook the place up. As we moved on past the greenhouse, we emerged in to this open area that had a bit of a trail you could follow to see most of the outside gardens. This little path was not so little once you realized how sprawling the outside area was. There were many things to see along the way as we slowly walked and took in the scenes. They had a not just flowers and plants but small sculptures and statutes scattered throughout. Similar to what you would see in the movies when there are public gardens or mansions with a garden area the size of a city block. You can see some of these in the gallery below but in the years since, they may have changed stuff around. I said earlier that I am no green thumb, so trying to describe Luthy in technical detail is beyond my capacity. Despite that, you don't need to know the difference between a dandelion and a tulip to enjoy the sheer beauty of this place. It's a combination of quaint, serene, beautiful and peaceful. Sometimes you need those things in this day and age. If you are able to visit, please do so. You won't regret it. If Peoria, IL is no on your radar due to a million reasons, check your local area to see if there are any botanical gardens to visit. I am sure they are just as lovely.

I had my wedding here at the end of June and was absolutely blown away! We were won over by…read morePackard after we walked in the door; the reception hall is unique and it felt cozy...not too overdone, not outdated...it was perfect. (Plus a few months prior to the wedding they repainted the entire room a tannish/brown...no longer the "meh" forest green.) What made Packard EVEN better was the staff. I had the best wedding planner in the world and am so sad for future brides that Kori won't be there to help you...she was amazing! (Don't worry, there are other wonderful ladies there that will help you and be awesome for you!) The reception went smoothly and that is mostly due to the organization of the staff at Packard. They have binders for every couple getting married and keep every email, conversation, checklist, you name it...in that binder. Last, the chef/caterer, One World....We got SOOOO many compliments on the food at our wedding. We literally had a friend email us to tell us how great it was and how he had never had that good of food at a wedding before. It was phenomenal! I loved Packard Plaza and our photos from the reception turned out amazing. Highly, highly recommend it!

Had a blast at my brother's wedding.The set-up is quite interesting. We went up a bunch of stairs…read moreand then some more because we were part of the wedding party. The second floor overlooks the seating area and surrounds the dance floor. It seems that they bring the wedding party up so that they can make their grand entrance down some stairs to the head table. The only thing is that they don't utilize the space any more than that, although some of the photographers used it for pictures. The space is right for a smaller size wedding. The staff was quite adept at keeping tidy during service, almost so much so that they almost took away stuff I was still working on. I don't fault them too much on that, they were busting their butts out there. The only thing I didn't like is that sitting at the head table I could see the food carts being rolled in around the DJ table to the kitchen area. I thought that looked kinda weird. Overall we had a really good time and a lot of people got out on the dance floor. That's all that matters.
