From the reviews

A lovely place. I really appreciate the wishing tree in the children's garden - it's so interesting to look through the wishes people have left! They also host interest events; I enjoyed the recent mushroom biogeography talk. The garden has interesting relevant information on plant strategies for wildfire-prone areas.
