Cleo

Rows of plants at my exact height, and not one for digging. I'll be a model of restraint.

Bonnie

There's a restaurant, and it has an indoor dog friendly seating area. I'll keep an eye on the cakes. For safety.

The pawrents

Dog friendly, on a lead the whole time. The Gardener's Retreat has indoor seats for dogs and outdoor seats over the plants. Free parking and wheelchair access, at Kingston on the Newhaven Road.
