The Garden is also home to Honey Branch cave, a former show-cave with a near level grade making it perfect for casual exploration. The many rare and lovely plants in the gardens and grotto make The Garden of Dreams a splendid site for weddings, corporate or church retreats, family gatherings, parties, or any special occasion. -
