Accessibility in the Gardens
Jim Gibbs wants every Gibbs Gardens’ visitor to enjoy a wonderful experience. Gibbs Gardens has handicapped parking near the garden entrance.
- The 100 acre Valley Gardens are wheelchair accessible.
- The Welcome Center (ticketing, restrooms and The Seasons gift store) and the Arbor Café are also wheelchair accessible.
- The paths in our Valley Gardens are easy to traverse; they are level and wide.
- There are many benches—126 in the Valley Gardens alone—that provide a comfortable place to sit and rest or just time to relax and take in the beauty of the gardens.
- The paths are covered with a ground granite composition that stays firm in dry weather. They are not paved. As such, they may soften following rain.
Visitors who must traverse the Gardens either by wheelchair or electric scooter should call the Gardens on the day of their visit to see if our Pathway Restrictions, which prohibit the use of wheelchairs or electric scooters on our pathways, are in place.
- Valley Gardens (100 Acres) – Waterlily Gardens, Grandchildren’s Sculpture Garden & Japanese Gardens are wheelchair accessible.
- Manor House Gardens & Wildflower Meadow – Are not wheelchair or electric scooter accessible.
- Inspiration Gardens – Due to the steep natural terrain of this garden, all wheeled transportation (wheelchairs, electric scooters, baby strollers, wagons) are prohibited entry. The garden may be viewed outside from above on the Manor House road.
PLEASE NOTE:
- We do not rent or provide wheelchairs or scooters.
- We do not provide golf carts.
- We do not have a tram or trolley.
On days when our Pathway Restrictions are in effect, we will post this icon and information related to the restrictions under “Weather Alert” on the home page of our website as well as a “Weather Alert” notification on our Facebook page.
