Display gardens, water features and our stunning, serene labyrinth sit beside the farmland along SR 203 outside Monroe, there to give you ideas for your own garden.
Falling Water Gardens grew out of Falling Water Designs, an award-winning landscape design and build company. The goal has stayed the same: to help you create your escape.
The labyrinth
Our stunning, serene labyrinth is one of the newest features on the grounds: a place to relax, de-stress, meditate or just get your steps in.
At the center is a water feature of small basalt columns and water geysers. Benches sit along the way, and clove-scented carnations, rosemary, lavender and thyme were planted around it to scent the walk.
Walk it whenever the garden center is open. In spring and summer, call ahead: the labyrinth closes when an event is booked. In fall and winter no events are booked, so it is always available.
