11 May 2012
Leading consumer magazine Which? Travel have placed all four RHS Gardens in their top ten UK garden category, with Rosemoor garden awarded first place, together with the prestigious Recommended Provider accolade. This award is given to companies that score well above average in the surveys and meet specific consumer-focused criteria.
James Rudoni, Director of RHS Gardens said: ‘We are absolutely delighted to have won this acknowledgement from our visitors. It is well deserved praise for all the staff and volunteers that work so hard to ensure that the RHS Gardens continue to look their best and provide a spectacular day out all year round.’
In a recent survey, Which? members were asked to score gardens based on overall satisfaction and likelihood to recommend to others; factors such as value for money, staff helpfulness, quality of facilities, gift shop and overall beauty of the garden were considered. In the overall results, Rosemoor scored 91%, Wisley came in a close second with 90% followed by Wakehurst Palace, Harlow Carr and Kew Gardens at 86%, and Hyde hall at 81%.
Which? Members who had visited RHS Garden Rosemoor commented that the garden: ‘is well worth visiting at different seasons as there is much to see’, and ‘it’s beautiful regardless of the time of year, and whatever the weather’.
