Reviews of Wakehurst Place Garden

Can't believe some of the other comments about not feeling in a proper garden - more a museum for plants. Don't know what bit you visited but you could not be more wrong!

The Price walled garden was magnificent (and relaxing), not to mention the array of Rhododendrons throughout the garden and park. A magnificent location to spend a few hours strolling through gardens and woodlands. Just remember that your lovely walk downhill must be reversed. At the top of the hill there is a sign indicating "no wheel-chairs." Just imagine it, when you are looking down the hill???

Where were the rides, the fairground, the shopping mall?

I'm sorry to say I disagree with Pete! Wakehurst is magnificent - it has so much on offer! Hundreds of acres of trees, plants and of course, the Millenium Seed Bank, which has to be applauded if we are going to preserve the plants we have in the future.
Another major plus for Wakehurst is that you can visit at any time of year and find something of interest here.

To me a good garden is one that inspires relaxation, a desire to sit with a good book, to admire beautiful things.

Wakehurst somehows fails to do that. For some reason I feel like I'm in a museum to plants,I may be in looking at some beautiful plants but at no point do I feel like I'm in a garden.
