We had a family trip to the winter gardens at Duthie park, it was beautiful. Lovely setting, absolutely stunning array of plants and flowers. The arrid area was my favourite, the cacti were spectacular, and enjoyed my wee chat with the talking cactus 😂 Definitely would recommend a visit, had a stroll around the park afterwards, but only briefly as there was an event on, but it was a beautiful day at the park
