Wheeling around the garden
Visit date:
This review is especially helpful for those who have or use the following: Powerchair
Overview
The gardens try to include everybody - would be ten but for the slopes that have to be negotiated - cannot really help that as it's part of the character of the gardens.
Transport & Parking
No dedicated parking but on street parking is available at the John Hope Gateway. It can be very busy at times.
Access
Entrances are all level access and we'll signposted. Automatic doors at all the key points; including the glasshouse tour. Most routes are accessible but some have slopes to negotiate. The majority of paths are hard surfaced.
Toilets
Three locations have accessible toilets. One at the John Hope Gateway - modern but tight for larger wheelchairs. Another adjacent to the glasshouses - more space to manoeuvre. A third at the East Gate - modern and very spacious - room for p.a. / carer if required.
Staff
Staff are friendly, pointed out the best route, helped when confronted with tractors, hoses and other obstacles.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
Plenty of space to enjoy the gardens, all easy to get around, glasshouses a great option - easy to follow the route, automatic doors, and plenty to see from wheelchair height.
