We had a wander round the Botanical Gardens last week when Tim had a
hospital appointment. I'd often driven past it, but never been in. Its
really interesting, they are making a wonderful job of restoring it, and
there are some very unusual plants and other artefacts. Well worth a visit.
Just avoid the maniac drivers who try to run you down on the zebra crossing
outside.
