It should be mentioned that sensible footwear and strong leg muscles is a must for seeing this garden.

Moreover, Health & Safety would have a fit at the number of buckets, hoses and other garden detritus which is strewn on the paths where a moment of distraction could send the inattentive visitor sprawling. No refreshments or toilets. An honesty box policy is operated.…
