Went today to get clippings. The Gentlemen doing the pruning was very helpful. And he went out of his way (above and beyond) to help out. He give me detailed description of each kind of rose he was clipping for me and also explained a few different sections he didnt give me any and explained that the roses in those particular sections had done very poor this year and he didnt want to give me clippings from sub par roses he said in the spring he is going to dig up said beds and fix the soil ph and plant a new bed. This is just a small part of how helpful he was. But heres the kicker of it all and why i am really impressed and giving such a great review they advertised clipping would happen and to be there between 8 and noon this morning. I got there at 1235 or 1245 and by the time i found him and he was done helping a nother lady there it was closer to 1.

Plus, the entire park as a whole is huge! You could spend hours hiking trails, swimming or playing in the creek, they have tennis courts, like 4 or 5 different jungle gyms, dog parks, a walking/jogging track that follows the perimeter of the entire park.
As an extra bonus: Most of the time, the people you meet along the trails and such and generally nice people, and 9 out of 10 times they let you pet their dogs. That alone gives this place at least one extra rating...
