点评:We’ve visited the gardens many times over the years and always thoroughly enjoy it. We always wonder how so few full time gardeners keep it looking so beautiful, tidy and interesting with thoughtful and skilled planting. The treat this time was that the bluebells are already out and give a stunning display. Wow! The camellias, wisteria, azaleas and tulips were a joy to see and the birdsong amazing. This time we walked around the lake which was a quiet and peaceful haven so unbelievably close to urban areas. Everyone we met was smiley, pleasant and very helpful, from the ladies in the kiosk to enter the garden, to the ‘girls’ in the cafe. The cafe courtyard is a real sun trap but there is a shady picnic area that is well kept, clean and very tidy. It’s easy to park and paths were well kept. We loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. We must go in June when the roses are out.
