I will be in the area and was thinking of visiting Cambridge Botanic Gardens next week - is it worth a visit at this time of year?

Will require a bit of a detour, so thought i would check if anyone knows it well?

    It's always an interesting place to visit with some very unusual plants. I was there last week and there were a lot of tender and half hardy plants looking very well. It is a botanical collection though rather than a display garden so it depends on what you enjoy looking at.

    I love this place, It's not far from King's Lynn. Lovely walled agrden and a good nursery. It is a nursery, not a GC. It's got a loo but no other facilities.
