Wish this place was open everyday 💐 I've lived in lake city for 18 years and when I'm here I don't feel like I'm in lake city at all. I never take my phone out when I'm here, I wish I would have captured photos the times I've been, but it's just so beautiful I don't want to ruin it with technology. Looking forward to coming back in the future, especially for artfields. 🎨

The gardens are fantastic. I love the fact they dont hide the things that didnt work. They explain what happened and why. Much of it is they are not afraid to try plants in different places to see where they do best and they try plants that are not suited for the local zone relying on micro-climates. Many of the varieities they use are available to home gardeners.

If you ever are able to get on the tour, its amazing and totally worth it. One word. Stunning. They take good care of this garden.

I've been to Moore Farms Botanical Gardens for a couple of events and I always enjoy myself. Went to one event where they served a buffet BBQ lunch. We came late after the food was put up, but they ushered us in the kitchen, got us a plate and had us eat anyway. Very nice people and the grounds are gorgeous!!! Every staff member was friendly. An hours drive from Conway, but worth the trip!

The Moore Farms Botanical Garden is a very nice experience! Pretty much says it all.
I am so impressed with the grounds. From the very start the attention to the grounds is evident. Even the gate is art. All along the road there is reused "Junk" turned into sculpture. Once you round the curve and look over the lake to see the Visitor's Center you will see how much the staff appreciates this place and how hard they work to make it a great experience. We went for the MFBG Beer Fest (2017) and riding the bus from the Inn, we were able to meet some other folks who were here before and really loved it. We finally were able to check in and while there was some confusion checking in (I did not get a T-shirt in my "Big Boy" size) it was a pretty easy process. Once the event got started and we were able to see the grounds I soon forgot all about our check in troubles.
The only fail was the food, apparently some of the food truck vendors bailed and the wait for food was over a hour. They guys that were there were doing their best, but clearly very overwhelmed! Someone from staff should have recognized it and ordered a boat load of pizza to be sold (or given away to take away from that negative). While not a fail, but a negative was the level of knowledge with some of the volunteers serving. We spent time explaining what types of beer they were serving.
Overall The MFBG Beer Fest is a great time and I cannot recommend VIP and the event overall anymore! Great time had by all and on my list of "To Do" as well as MFBG in general, the staff and volunteers are wonderful!
