That's excellent! I wondered round Compton Acres in May myself, and it was well kept and subtly boosted an exciting plant selection.
Perhaps most important is the value for money - entry fee, refreshments, plants for sale \(including GYO), and inbuilt education/play bits and bobs for the family. All decisive factors in tight times to keep the cash flow flowing.
