Worth knowing first

Reviews are mixed
A 3.4 average over 79 reviews sits below what most places in this category manage. Read a few before committing to a long drive.
Parking is undocumented
No lot or street parking is recorded against this listing. Assume you are hunting for a kerbside spot.
Closed Thursday
Check the hours panel before you set out — a single closed day is easy to miss.
Strongly seasonal
What is in bloom drives the whole visit. In winter this is a barer, much quieter place than the photographs suggest.
