The Thyme Garden Herb

Thyme Garden is the most beautiful place that I have ever seen. What gorgeous scenery! But looks can be deceiving. My nephew and new bride got married there recently. The wedding was fanominal, though the owners of Thyme Garden were rude and nasty. The garden was paid $ 2500 to hold the venue there. We needed use of the walk in cooler for our wine and small beer kegs, which was not a lot. The owners threw a nonstop fit about it and were rude as hell for 2 days. We accidentally broke a pair of $ 3 Walmart scissors, which she had 2 more pair, you would of thought they were made of gold the way the owner acted. I recommend you stop and see the scenery, but do not waste money to hold a venue there if you expect professionallism and niceties.

I really should offer 2 reviews, because I think this is an incredibly beautiful spot with a great variety of herbs and plants. But… Went there yesterday and we brought our 2 miniature dachshunds. We had been there with our dogs before, told to keep them on a leash, all good. This time a man who worked there, Very Important Man (You could tell by his arrogance and condescension) Walked up to us and said, and I quote —
«We do not appreciate dogs here, they compete with the birds and the stream and disrupt the tranquility. If they have to go to the bathroom make sure it’s over there»
I have no problem with restrictions on dogs, but my god I do not like rudeness and condescension.
I wonder if he appreciates me spending my money there?

If there was a rating for more than 5 stars this place would have it. The grounds are absolutley breathtaking. We decided to go camping for a couple of our b-​days and we went to the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Everything. First off everyone who was working the event was so nice and so helpful with any question we may have had. We walked the gardens during the day light and lets just say … I joked about moving on to the grounds forever. The event was beautiful and the food was so good. When night time fell the twinkle lights added much beauty to the place. The angel trumpet tree is one of the largest I have ever seen and oh my I must have been in the area with the tree for a good 30 mins before moving on. I can not say enough good things about this place. Please if you get a chance stop by and visit.

There are so many special (and magical) things about this place! Once you’ve been here for an event, you’re sure to be hooked. Forested trails. Beautiful pond. Bubbling creek and bridges. Wonderful selection of plants for sale. The best herbs. And everything organic! And the food they prepare is spectacular!

This is probably one of my favorite places hands down. I first went here after receiving an invitation from a group of friends going here for a birthday party. We camped nearby and went to their Midnight in the Garden of Good and Everything dinner in late July which was just amazing. I have since been here several other times for that same dinner. I have also attended their salmon run tour and dinner in the fall and I have shopped here for herbs, plants and seeds to the point where my husband and I were originally planning to get married here. The space is gorgeous so even if you just visit the nursery to buy a few hollyhock starts or something it is well worth the beautiful drive. I have photographer friends who use this as a favorite space thanks to all of the improvements and test gardens by the owners who live here. They offer private tours and lunches during the summer months and they also have special events throughout the year for Earth Day, Mother’s Day etc which are loads of fun and have very reasonable prices for entry. The dinners are created with local fresh and organic ingredients and since the owners used to have their own very successful restaurant the presentation and food is top notch.

What a lovely way to spend a day. Good food, friendly faces, lovely surroundings — it couldn’t get any better. The service for the food was a tad slow, but since everything was grilled on a bar-​b-​que while you watched and there was live music and lots of vendors, the time flew by. Children played, people made their own hanging baskets, everyone was relaxed and enjoyed themselves. I highly recommend this way of spending Mother’s Day. I’ll go to other events there now.
