Cons:

• "The landscaping in some spots seemed a little too wild with tall grass, but it suits the environment."

• "Do not suggest driving unless you live around the park."
• "Cake was nice, but delivery time of drinks to the table was atrocious."
• "This time, I visited this garden after sunset, and had it all for myself. That was a magic experience, but, had I spent more time there, the garden would be locked up for the night."
• "Be sure to consider parking options if you drive as there are a lot of paid parking spaces available but they run 7 days a week and are rather costly."
• "Nice quite park to relax or to take a stroll. Was here in winter, so the roses have just had their annual pruning and are not the most interesting."
