The Easter weekend was very positive here at Trebah Garden. We recorded a 72% increase in visitor numbers (and a 60% increase in spend) over the 4 days compared to the same 4 days last year (when it was of course early and the weather was cold and wet for the most part). So after a very good March - sunny weather suiting garden attractions - this improvement for an important trading period at Easter has given us a much needed boost at the start of our main season.
