From the reviews
Really loved this total hidden gem. A very NATIVE (and non-native) green garden space along with tonnes of flowering plants. The signature is the rock formation/water feature wrapped in a wonderful green grove landscape. There were people streaming in regularly to get portraits of them selves and wedding parties, etc.
Getting married at Peace (Rock) Garden
Peace (Rock) Garden comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
