Highlights of this natural wonder include the Prince Bishops' Garden, the tropical house, the cactus house and the conservatory, with plenty of creepy crawlies (butterflies if you are lucky). The visitor centre has a number of changing exhibitions, with plenty of information for green-fingered types.
