Three times I have tried to arrange to take a friend to these gardens, I have been in the summer, Beautiful walks, gardens indoors & out, during the summer they have a band playing on the band stand. Lovely for the children to look around. It’s February it’s wet, windy, cold, not the best time of the year, lots to see indoors Spring not to far away, so buds to be seen, beautiful fish to look at indoors. We also paid a visit to the tea rooms, half term, lots of children inside, excellent sandwiches, hot food available, and the staff amazing, friendly, helpful.shop to look around, enjoyable wet afternoon.

Starting out this garden is wonderful. It is free to enter and recommends donations to keep things going in a dropbox near the gate entrance. I recommend supporting this in order to keep it free for those who want to go. The garden is gorgeous and has so much to offer, to be honest. A lot of clean and nice paths to walk on. Sections of the garden are nicely organized. They have bees pollinating and lots and lots to see. My favorite part was the Japanese garden with bamboo, koi, and lots of Japanese Maples. I would recommend this to anyone who likes these types of things.

What a beautiful garden! And it’s free! The staff were lovely and the gardens were amazing! It is right across from the zoo. It is a public space, so anyone can just walk in. I got there before 7 and they opened the gates about 10 mins early. I saw all kinds of amazing birds! The zoo is literally across the street. If I had more time I would have gone. By the time I left at 10, the parking lot was full and there was a queue of cars to get into the zoo. There is a lovely little shop. I didn’t try the restaurant.
