My wife and I went on Mothers day 5/12/19 for a nice day at the gardens. Little did we know that the a major portion of the conservatory was closed. This was not listed on the website.
Listed on there add for mothers day it states Should event cancellations or garden closures happen the garden will attempt to contact people for a refund. I spoke with a supervisor and tolld him we should get a refund. We didn't know that the conservatory would be partially closed . We wouldn't of spent 56 dollars for a 1hour session . My email is jtd1654@yahoo.com. We were very unhappy and would like a refund. Thanks John DeLuca
