Friends of Bushey Rose Garden 
Hi. It would be nice to see Lucy Kemp-Welch spelled correctly on you History page – Welch not Welsh. Also on the About page you talk about visitors being able to use the toilets at the golf club. I don’t think they are accessible now are they?
Thank you for looking at our website and pointing out theses errors. Hopefully they have now been corrected. We are always pleased to hear from people who are interested in the Garden and hope you will visit and enjoy the changing seasons.
Many thanks for quick work. I visit the Rose Garden very often.
