Translates as: Cheap, lonely to be a Sunday, and nice to walk around. The best: the greenhouse with species from other parts of the world and some reptiles / insects. The worst: many slopes, prepare your legs Hehe Also, there was a sign that said there were goats, but we did not see them, they would be behind the moss Many thanks for your response and glad to hear you enjoyed your visit. We do have some sheep (not goats, although they do have horns so can look goat-like), they are down in the meadow at the bottom of the wood at the moment. The site does have steep slopes in some parts, mainly through to the wood, but there are plenty of other lovely flatter areas to enjoy nearer to the Visitor Centre.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your visit to the Botanic Garden. Our pathways are generally good, but due to the nature of the garden they are quite steep in parts and some are not suitable for wheelchairs or motorised scooters. We also currently have a bank of Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) fully in flower adjacent to our Winter Garden. We hope that you come to visit again soon!

Thank you for your review. We apologise for any inconvenience caused but due to staff shortages through illness on that particular day we had to close the Visitor Centre & Greenhouses an hour early. We hope that you visit us again!

Thank you for your review. The Botanic Garden provides beautiful scenery across all seasons but especially over the summer months. We are a leading attraction in Durham, with guests young and old visiting throughout the year. We hope to see you visit again soon!

Thank you for your review. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your visit to the Botanic Garden. We apologise about the condition of our beehives. We plan to revamp the beehives and birdhouses in due course. We would love for you to come to back and visit to see the progression on them!

Thank you for your review. We recently had a lot of storm damage at the Botanic Garden and we are still trying to clear up certain areas. This year, we have been a more biodiverse garden as we have seen an increase in the amount of animals in the area such as, insects etc. Also we have left certain areas such as the meadow and allowed the arboretum to grow. In a couple of months, our sheep will begin their conservation graze clearing up these areas for visitors to walk through. We also have not used any chemicals in the garden this year such as weed killer which makes the garden more labour intensive for our small team of gardeners. However the abundance of insects, bees, butterflies and animals seen lately makes it worthwhile. We appreciate your feedback.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that you had a pleasant visit to the Gardens and we hope to see you visit again in the near future.
