What beautiful gardens! The care and love that’s gone into them makes them comparable to Regent’s Park at its best. Even at possibly the worst time of year they were beautiful. I especially liked the African Garden, though there was a sign up apologising for it being bare as the tender plants were indoors! The bare areas were covered with a dressing of sand, which left it very neat and elegant.

There are statues all over the place. I don’t know if they are permanent, but I enjoyed the ones of North American spirits and animals. Having a vulture in your flower bed is striking and different. There’s also a band stand, and an enclosure with goats and chickens. When I was there one chicken was using a goat as it’s very own warmed perch.

Compared to Regent’s Park it’s smaller of course. On the other hand it has the advantage of location: on the side of a hill, which does make for a few slopes (nothing too terrible) but stunning views.

HEAVEN ON EARTH..........................
This park/garden is part of the horniman museum in forest hill, south-east london, it is seperate from the museum so you can visit the park seperately or the museum for free!!!!
The garden is absoloutely beautiful and stunning, it has many seating areas, wide green space, trees, nature reserve, a little farm, bandstand, best views overlooking london, sundials and many flowers and trees. The garden adapts to a new look every season, which makes it worth to visit, dedicated staff work to meet the high standards of the garden so you wont be suprised that the gargen has won many awards. Visiting the garden is peaceful, you forget all your worries, you can relax and there is a chic cafe nearby. It truelly is one place I recommend all to visit in thier lifetime:)
