Very cool natural garden setting. Lots of very nice paths, a creek and great open spaces. Hopefully Katy the dog will follow you around. Owners are very nice.

A wonderful open space with mainland mountain vistas across the straight of tidal current flows the sounds of lapping waves playing around seal barks raven calls eagle being chased away by a murder of crows there for all to enjoy in perpetuity, thank-you Kitty Coleman I would have liked to have met you.

It was ok! Maybe in the evening is better, looks like they might have lights on then.

Magical woodland paths and natural sculptures; a meditative, secluded trail. See if you can find the hidden labyrinth. October has amazing wild mushrooms along paths and mystical open groves within the woods. This is one of the places that made us fall in love with the Comox Valley.

It is a beautiful walk with the water features , wishing it was spring though to see the flowers, must be amazing. Still a nice place to spend some time walking and taking in nature.

Went to the Artisan festival. Awesome venue. Not crowded as Fillburg or Comox Marina. No to many repetitive artists. Nice and cool in the trees. Parking can be a bit of a walk.

Beautiful gardens, lots of art hidden around to find.

Simon Snow

Such a magical place! There's so much to explore here, from the more rugged trails by the river to many easy trails winding throughout the park by lakes and ponds.

Honestly I expected a lot out of this place. I was disappointed when I got there. The trails were totally unkempt. We could not figure out the best path to get to various locations.

Phillip Tanner

Relaxing walk through the woods. We went for the art and bloom artists market and picked up some cool locally made decorations for our home. Costs 10$ ea to get in. They have another market in September on the long weekend too.

Randy Marchand

Awesome place but no outhouse/toilets.

I took my wife to the gardens for Mother's Day, and overall we were a bit disappointed. We love the blending of cultivated gardens with the natural woodland environment, but found the experience was let down by obvious years of neglected maintenance. Most of the paths are very narrow due to lack of pruning, and in places where large shrubs like rhodos are totally overgrowing the path, they're rather clumsily and ineffectively tied off to nearby trees. We took one path that led us along a sharp drop down to the creek, that honestly felt dangerous. We did have a stroller, but even without it would have been watching our footing very carefully. Along that path we encountered a sort of gazebo that was rotting/falling over, but strapped and chained to a tree... that had grown around the chain, so clearly left that way for years. Why it wasn't just torn down is beyond me. All of that being said, the Woodland Gardens have an abundance of serene and beautiful nature, many lovely ponds, and great grassy spots for picnics. The issues are all around maintenance and accessibility.

Magical place

Rob Sander

Beautiful Place you must check it out!!!!!

Neal Beattie

Sad and tired location. Unsafe - no staff, no maps, just a poorly maintained tangle of paths in somebody's backyard forest. Followed "more exhibit" signs which led to "more exhibit" signs and sat on a rotten bench full of wood-bugs. This might be nice for an art show or a concert event, but seems more of a liability to invite the public here to walk around. This is not a stand-alone attraction worth $8, maybe by donation? Added note: It's all rhodos, so might be nice when they're in bloom. We didn't see any flowers in August.

PHIL Tardif

Not rememberable

Scott Lyle

Beautiful gardens, huge grounds, often music, a Christmas light display, an absolutely wonderful, magical place.

Kris Thompson

mark dahl

Went to an art show here. Absolutely beautiful venue with small groups of vendors scattered around the property.

Jason Wallace

Best Christmas setup I have seen. A family favorite.

Ro tro

If it's Nov - don't go. I bet this place is amazing in the summer though, and seems the barn is being decorated for Xmas. Determinedly found the labyrinth through the very overgrown sodden paths.

Roger and Patty Smith

Interesting driftwood and sculptures. Nice place for a picnic. There is an honor system fee of $8/person.

Kitty Coleman Woodland Gardens are always a treat to wander throughout it's grounds during the spring to autumn months. Spring is particularly enchanting with the hundreds of glorious rhododendrons in a rainbow of colors blooming amongst a natural background. Pretty ponds with unique fountain's make these area's a cool reprieve on warm weather day's. Plenty of novel types seating provided along ambling trail's.. Art Festival's held here, are always a lovely way to spend a couple hours enjoying & purchasing spectacular creations by local artists . Plus there is a added bonus of listening to soft, melodic melodies by various talented musicians while enjoying the sights. Couple of food venues are available for purchasing limited variety of munchies. Area's of the grounds are frequently rented for weddings & group events.

Jamie Klassen

The Rhododendrons are beautiful and there are some nice spots here but it could use some new signage and some maintenance. Rustic for sure.
