They did a lot to publicise it, but the Press found the development of
redundant china clay pits with the largest greenhouse I the world far more
news worthy than the rescue and renovation of an old garden.

Both Heligan and Eden had much better PR than the Welsh garden at the
crucial time.


If it hadn't been yet another Millennium project, and there was that thing
in London that was taking a lot of media space at the time........and that
****** Dome cost a hell of a lot more and only lasted a year, and had a

of handouts just to get it through that year.

How is anyone supposed to find it when The capitol of Wales isn't
signposted
till you are almost into Wales.
Come out of London on the M4 and you soon see Newport listed for mileage,
but it is a long time before Cardiff is listed. Probably because
"Westminster" doesn't want people to discover the delights of Wales.
We're a well kept secrete.
