A review on the previous reviewer.

A good old fashion British moaner! Well done!
A garden critique implies design knowledge. John Brookes may be a little dated, but he is still a master.

Rather disappointing. I expected lots of ideas, unusual plants and far more variety. The cost of entry is a lot for what is a fairly small garden.

The plant centre is expensive and quality of plants only average.

The restaurant cafe is a plus however - very pleasant and worth visiting for lunch.
