This is what I wrote on the Wakehurst Google Review page;I’m sorry but the Trust is an entity that has been entrusted to safeguard OUR national heritage. It should be just that, not a money gouging entity who are clearly out to make a tidy profit. It’s outrageous that we should have to pay £7.00 for parking just to visit the coffee shop and visit their gift shop. To add insult to injury, the service at the coffee shop was a bit ordinary, and the shopping was prohibitively expensive.My 93 year old mum just doesn’t bother going to Wakehurst for those reasons.“Trust” my ass, you have become a profit making organisation with a political agenda, using our heritage to do so.
