Such a beautiful place. Owner and staff are so helpful and friendly. We absolutely have to stop here at least once when we come home and sometimes twice! The koi pond is gorgeous and the plant selection is top notch. Gift shop! Amazing! The vibe here is fantastic and you’ll leave with so many ideas for creating your own oasis.
Taking our classes to Reads Creek was a blast! Ms. Jen was wonderful with the kids and made our experience unforgettable with her knowledge and patience. We will be back!
Ms. Jen did an outstanding job with our 2nd graders at Second Nature. She was informative, organized, and engaging for our students. The students loved the koi ponds, viewing the eagle nest, and exploring the creek. Some of our students said it was the best field trip EVER! It's so nice to have such a wonderful place like Second Nature so close to home.
