Overall Rating
Excellent
A friend bought me membership of the RHS for Christmas and I had never been before. I arranged to borrow a mobility scooter via an online booking. They take a £5 returnable donation when you pick up the scooter, any donations given via this route go towards maintenance of the mobility equipment. I was shown how to drive the scooter ( really straight forward). I was able to access most of the garden on the scooter, we found only one path with steps and this was well sign posted. There were disabled toilets that were very well maintained both at the entrance and along the route. The paths were well maintained and mostly level or only small inclines. The cafe, garden centre and shop were easily navigable with my rollator.
