Been here a few times, a great half a day stroll. Was a little unkempt in certain spots. Fish pond is a great place to sit and and watch the world and fish go by. Nice cafe, staff friendly and helpful.

The garden is lovely and peaceful. There were not many people at the time i went which meant it was like having the place to myself. The Potting Shed Bistro is well worth a visit. Best cheese and pickle sandwich ever.

I visited Logan Botanic Garden on a hot summer weekday, it was very quiet and it genuinely felt like being in southern Europe. The gardens are beautifully maintained, with stunning grounds and a fantastic variety of plants. We also had lunch in the café, which was excellent. A lovely place to spend a few relaxing hours - highly recommended!

A very special garden. We've rediscovered the garden this year having not visited for about 10 years or so and we treated ourselves to membership which has encouraged us to visit more often as well. So we've seen the garden throughout the season this year. It's as delightful as we remembered and has some very special plants and trees due to the micro climate in the garden and being in the Gulf Stream. A beautiful spot and well worth visiting. Well
