It is only the second time in the Gardens' history that it has been closed to the public all day. Gardens' Director, Robin Nielsen, said. We are continuing to assess the damage, particularly to ensure public safety. Some specific areas of the Gardens may remain closed for several weeks until tree surgeons have completed their work. It's at times like these that you really appreciate the dedication of the Gardens' staff, who have worked tirelessly to get the site open again for the public.
Plans are already in action to re-propagate trees and shrubs damaged or lost in the storm.
