Wonderful to visit for both adults and children - the garden is lovely all year round - and there are the fantastic birds for the children - cranes, storks, flamingoes to name but a few!

What a wonderful relaxing place. Perfect to drift away and become inspired. I really liked the new hard landscaping in the Wave Garden with the promise of all the new bulbs being planted at the moment I will definatly visit again in the spring.

I have visited this garden(and surrounding nature reserve) a number of times since I heard Piet Oudolf had designed a garden there for the millenium. On a recent visit I noticed some new developments underway - really nice. Definitely worth a visit - a living growing garden!

Beautiful gardens to wander around within a nature reserve. Lots of different types of planting with inspiring selection of perennials and grasses and wildflower meadows well worth a visit
