Lovely place to wander around and relax. Some gorgeous plants. Must go again to see the Japanese garden. The little cafe is really nice and lady made a sandwich up for my Grandchild which was nice. Lots of places to sit and rest, and easy to reach by bus, you can catch the 4 from the bottom of Union Street and it's a short easy walk from the bus stop.

I love the big Magnolia trees. On WEDNESDAYs there is no entrance fee (PS9), but they accept donation from PS1 PS3 PS6. If you go often to visit this place this is the best day to do so.

Fantastic place to visit. Inside the gardens it is quiet and peaceful. The receptionist lady was super nice and informative. There's a lot to see, everything is well labelled. The glass houses are particularly interesting, the Asian garden is also remarkable. Lots of plants were blossoming, take care with the bees. Entry is about a tenner, free for students.

This was unexpectedly such an educational visit. Highlights were the Chinese herbal garden and the Evolution collection detailing the history of plants.

We visited for the Easter sculpture weekend. The volunteers and staff did a great job at organising things and making the day tick along. The gardens are quite small, but are interesting enough for a stroll around. There weren't as many different cultures as expected given the website and media coverage, but there were enough pieces to make it worth the trip and add some interest

Really interesting place for folk who enjoy gardens and botany. There's a lot of planting, it's well laid out, the paths interweave so it's not a linear journey. The science behind what they've curated is present and its well explained on well presented information boards. A good couple hours at least to go round, longer if you take it all in. Nice little cafe on site: the brie and pesto sandwich is my personal recommend. Entry is PS10 but free to current and former students of Bristol uni.
