Wellbeing Experience at Ventnor Botanic Garden
The Wellbeing Experience at Ventnor Botanic Garden is designed to create a unique, wholesome healing experience with a beautiful backdrop of subtropical palms, olives and cork oaks.
Drop in to any of our weekly scheduled classes which often are outside in summer months.
After class we invite you to continue to relax and unwind in the peace and tranquillity of the Garden and enjoy healthy foods in The Plantation Room Café.
