Jim Gibbs wants every Gibbs Gardens’ visitor to enjoy a wonderful experience. Gibbs Gardens has handicapped parking near the garden entrance.

Valley Gardens  (100 Acres) – Waterlily Gardens, Grandchildren’s Sculpture Garden, Japanese Gardens, The Gazebo Gardens, “Le Jardin” Color Gardens, views of ponds, streams and waterfalls are wheelchair accessible.

  • The paths in our Valley Gardens are easy to traverse; they are level and wide and are covered with a ground granite composition that stays firm in dry weather. They are not paved. As such, they may soften following rain.
  • 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.

Wildflower Meadow & Daffodil Gardens — Only the lower elevations are wheelchair accessible.

Welcome Center (ticketing, restrooms), The Seasons gift store and Arbor Café are also wheelchair accessible.

Pathway Restrictions — Visitors who must traverse the Gardens either by wheelchair or electric scooter should check for the red banner on the front page of our website or check our FaceBook page 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.
