Think of it as a museum of plants. The real pleasure is in exploring it in an unguided way- where you will find some very strange things in deed. Not just plants. A couple of art galleries too.

Beautiful garden. I was there with my family at the end of April - the garden at that time of the year is so nice! We spent a wonderful day. We took The Explorer (the tram) just because of the kid (4 years old) - if you want to see everything you won't need it. There is an offer 2 for 1 London attractions. And! The children attractions are right on time for bored kids!

The garden was nice but not worth 13 pounds. To top it off, the tram would cost 4 pounds extra and a GPS was another 5 pounds. The garden didn't have alot of useful signs so made it difficult to navigate. We were in circles. The Queen's Cottage was very disappointing. Also, there were lots of plants but not enough signs with commentaries so I wasn't sure what I was looking at. Maybe it's a garden for experts.
