As some other Gainesville residents have mentioned, there are better gardens out there in the US, but this one is still darn good for a town of Gainesville's size, or any size for that matter - it's by far the best in the area and definitely worth checking out for anyone who loves the outdoors.
There is a good variety of exhibits - rose gardens, herbs, bamboo gardens, camellias, etc. For a more detailed listing check out their website. The path that takes you to each part of the gardens is itself a pleasant nature walk. There are fields perfect for a picnic lunch or relaxing. I *think* pets are welcome as well on a leash; not 100% sure of that.
There are also nice festivals you can attend here - Rose shows, camellia festivals, the spring garden festival and the orchid festival stand out in my mind. For the $6 admission fee, definitely worth checking out at least once.
