The garden's design incorporates various themed areas, including rock gardens, woodland sections, and herbaceous borders, providing a diverse range of plant life throughout the seasons. Many reviewers note the impressive variety of rhododendrons, alpines, and Himalayan plants. The garden's knowledgeable staff and volunteers are frequently praised for their enthusiasm and willingness to share information about the plants. Some visitors mention that the best time to visit is during late spring and early summer when most plants are in bloom, though the garden offers interest year-round. A few reviewers note that the garden might not be suitable for those with mobility issues due to some narrow paths and steps. The small tea room on-site receives mixed reviews, with some appreciating the opportunity for refreshments, while others find it limited.
