Gradens are beautiful and relaxing. Kids loved the wooden play area and spotting the different wildlife.

It was just a wonderful walk in the sunshine as I meandered from one zone to another. But I didn't have time to visit the glass house - so I will need to go back.

Botanic gardens in serious need of care and attention. Very expensive price for what we saw. Especially at this time of year where you would expect gardens to be in full bloom!
