Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

No gardens left, just overgrown weeds everywhere. Was closed so thinking maybe it's been closed for ages. A forgotten garden. Don't waste your time.

What an effort to create such a lovely spot in such a harsh climate. Well worth a visit to see what hard work can accomplish. A friendly welcome and a long chat about the history of the garden, with photos.

Went to look at these gardens but from the roadside it looked a bit overgrown and unkempt so because we had elderly parents who are not quite steady on their feet decided to not go in

We visited this private garden for a cost of 5.00 each. The lady of the house came out to greet us and told us the background for the garden which used to be a market garden and is now an important habitat refuge for wildlife, such as bearded dragons, after whom the garden is so named. She also spent some time with us, and has a small tin of creatures that have been found in the garden which is quite interesting and kids would enjoy this. There are many photos which provide further information for species found. Visitors may view the back and front of the garden and spend time on the seating provided.
There are some very quirky and interesting wire and metal sculptures which have been hand made by the owners. Some lovely zinnia flowers were on display.
On this occasion no dragons were seen, except for the statue kind!, but in summer they [bearded dragons] would be out and about for sure.
Could the entry fee perhaps include tea and a scone or something and some water? That might be a nice idea.
Nevertheless, i would recommend this garden to showcase how you can have an abundant, thriving garden in a harsh arid zone and cater to the local wildlife as well and provide important and safe habitat for them. Permanent and reliable water stations are available to the wildlife and good to see.

This is a private garden retreat on the outskirts of Peterborough. It is only $5 admission, which is a token to support the development of the place.
The grounds were once bare earth, and this is a harsh, arid climate. What has been achieved is a labour of love. The trees have attracted local birds, and there are bearded dragons and blue tongue lizards.
There is shade from taller trees which provides a microclimate for things growing at ground level. The owners are clearly passionate about developing a green oasis in a dry, sunbaked landscape
The rambling nature of the various areas flows from one section to the next. These photos were taken after a long dry Summer, yet there is still colour.
