I have always wanted to see these gardens in person. It is on my list iof things to do

[@TheFunfairfan]

So happy I visited here, simply magical !

[@Ida-Adriana]

What are the plants there? Is there a catalogue of them or how can I find out? I’m moving to Shetland which is treeless and windy, I love trees so will have to plant them and just pray they grow fast 😭

[@alastair4151]

It's hard to believe this subtropical oasis lies on exactly the same latitude as Winnipeg in Canada,where winters last for 5 months of the year,temperatures can drop to - 40C, and they skate on the frozen rivers all winter.

[@Conspiracy1977]

Almost the same latitude of Winnipeg is Victoria, BC where there are palm trees and banana trees and it rarely snows in the winter. Ah, the gulf stream ocean currents keep Abbey Garden warm in the winter as the Japanese currents keeps Victoria warm in the winter.
