The great thing about the Gardens are all the events they put on to help bring in the revenue to enable them to continually improve the gardens, which has been really visible over the last couple of years.

I visited the Garden on the day it opened and have watched it blossom over the years to how it is today and operated with the help of staff and volunteers who give their time to make it what it is today. It is a credit to them all.

Electric invalid chairs available, restaurant was clean, tidy and the food excellent. Poorly attended, only 21 cars in the car park - it deserves more!

We happened upon this place by accident but as we love walking round gardens decided we would break our journey and have a look round. How glad we were, it was one of the nicest botanical gardens we have visited and we ended up staying until closing time. A lovely place and well worth a visit

Time will tell but these gardens are better than Kew. Disable vehicles are avaiable. The Dome stands out with all its magnificent. Plenty of activites everyday. Near by is a world class resturant The Pollen.

Although not gardeners we really enjoyed our visit here. The grounds are lovely and the greenhouse is a beautiful structure. We were here for a couple of hours and anyone with any gardening enthusiasm could have a full day quite happily.

We spent almost two hours in the Great Glasshouse which is... More
