The Garden has extensive and well tended grounds and is popular with families and people of all ages. Even those with little interest in plants will find a relaxing stroll around the grounds most enjoyable.
There is also a cafe and shop to round off your visit, or why not take a picnic along to enjoy on a summer's day.
Plants and flowers of differing types are in bloom throughout the year, but the gardens are seen at their best throughout the summer months.
