PERSONAL THOUGHTS
Beautiful, large garden. It'll take you some time to see an appreciate everything this garden has to offer. This garden has definitely some amazing scenery to offer. If you happen to be around as the tour starts in Saturday and you have no time constraints, I recommend you to join in. But only if you plan on listening to the guide! My group member eventually lost interest and started chatting more amongst themselves than doing some actual listening. I actually found that quite rude. And please don't do extensive photo shoots during the tour either. You can do that after (or before)! The volunteer guides have some amazing stories to share, but you need to give them the chance!
Anyway, this is a lovely garden. If you want a leisure day, this is the place to go!
