The gardens are an oasis of calm within a bustling city. The gardens are beautifully laid out and the variety of plants in all seasons gives one ideas for one's own garden. The greenhouses are superb, and our grand-daughter loves the birds - and the slide in the children's playground. However, the gardens are expensive to visit, unless one has a season ticket. The plants for sale often look sickly, and the coffee shop is disappointing. The staff try, but the products for sale are limited and some do not look appetising.

I lovedgoing here it was the best day out i have ever been on! i absouloutly loved all the plants they were lovely my only doubt was you could always smell plants!!!!!!!!!!!!!
