luthy botanical garden

My wife and I were married in the greenhouse in the middle of winter. A beautiful oasis of beautiful plants and flowers in the middle of a not so beautiful urban area and park.

Located right next to the Peoria Zoo. They have a small gift shop. You first enter a tropical greenhouse then enter the garden area. Kind of reminds me of a millionaires huge backyard. Big fenced in area in a lower income area of town. Kind of an oasis in the area. Lots of plants and displays. Some of the flowers were starting to die getting closer to fall. There are plenty of places to sit down and enjoy the view. Worth stopping if you are in the area and looking to enjoy something for a couple of hours. Rates were reasonable. The older lady that was working there was fairly rude, and acted bothered by us when we came in.

Our group of 4 were the first to enter the Garden just when it opened and loved wandering through it. The flowers and trees are awesome. The little sitting places here and there were a delightful pause in the walking. As I come from a northern state it was great to see some new flowering plants...i got lots of garden ideas. This is truely a quiet showplace for those who enjoy gardens. Plus there is a gift shop.

I toured this location last month, and I couldn't say anything bad about this location even if I wanted to. Friendly staff, beautiful plants, and something to look forward to throughout the entire year.

Took an hour to wander the paths and enjoy the beautiful varieties of plants, trees and flowers. Nice peaceful afternoon. Several places to sit and relax. Very tranquil.

Small, redundant contents in greenhouse. Outside is nice. Been to weddings there.Not the easiest place for non-locals to find.Only need an hour or so for the whole thing.Please donate, they need to update the plants in the greenhouse

Small garden that is easy to walk around. I was very surprised it cost to get into the small park, but is not expensive. Quiet and peaceful

My young son and I visit here often, it us very close to our home. The different gardens are lovely and there is such a sense of peace there. My son loves to check out the gazebo and fountain. It is a nice hideaway in the middle of town.

The plant sale is usually held in late April. They always have very unique plants! I have purchased several kinds of aromatic geraniums - this year I got a ginger-scented geranium. They also have cinnamon and lime scented basil. Herbs and perennials galore. This hear I also purchased French lavender and succulents. Their store has many attractive garden accents and fun things like wind chimes, door mats, and flags.

Nice place for picture taking. So glad Peoria has this place, I wish it was bigger, with more features.

We had our wedding pictures taken here several years ago in June and it made a beautiful background. It also works well for an outdoor wedding.

Not much to see really. Wouldnt go again. The greenhouse is small and crowded on weekends. Too bad. Was not expecting a St Louis Botanical Garden in Peoria, but still.

Perfect gardens and beautiful greenhouse - a gem in the heart of Peoria. Wonderful venue for a wedding or just to stroll around.

Small garden that is easy to walk around. Many interesting plants and the small greenhouse is very nice during holidays.
