    Have visited a lot of botanic gardens over the years. While this is quite an impressive garden I did feel it was a let down by it's modern almost bland design. Too much concrete and not enough natural spaces.

    Sure did, and this is truly an amazing place. I've been here a few times now, and our Probus group appeared to enjoy the time we had there. Every time I go here, it never ceases to amaze me. Staff are friendly and informative, I would recommend everyone come and wander around this fantastic place.

    A great place to come on a nice day and enjoy the gardens. The bird life is entertaining to watch and listening to their song is peaceful. The garden offers a diverse range of native flora and is great to view any time of the year.

    What an amazing Garden. Too big/much to see it all in one day. So many unusual plants and trees. Loved the souvenir shop, cafe provided a good menu choice( even for vegetarians/vegans), and for children. Fresh, lots of it and great staff / service. Congratulations to designers, Gardeners, Staff, everyone involved with the creation and management, running of this place. It is AMAZING! Well done!!! I'll be back for sure!
