Gibbes Watson Conservatory

Good place

Green is good. Could do with a bit of a makeover.

Nice for five mins

Unusual and interesting plants

Good amount of green stuff, a needed break from the concrete jungle...

Could do with a bit more work. Seems a bit empty.

GWC is located in a pretty garden of established trees and flower-beds. When the sun blazes at the end of a fine day and especially when the roses are in full bloom, you couldn't ask for a better setting to meet up with friends. And so it is popular with youths as a place to chill out.The conservatory itself could be better utilised and has some way to go before it reaches its full potential. But the roses on the other hand, when they are in full bloom are exquisite and some are larger than bread plates! They have obviously been tended with love and care. It is very pleasant to walk through this wee park and then cross over the red bridge to the rest of the Riddiford Gardens.
