New enough and long enough. If the Horticultural Center hasn't closed over six years ago, I might be worried about promotional language due to the detailed descriptions of the garden's features. It is all adequately sourced in-line. I noticed an instance of close paraphrasing, but I think that I fixed it. Regarding the hooks, the information for ALT1 and ALT2 is not in the page itself (and I didn't accidentally remove it!). In other words, there's nowhere on the page that mentions that the Horticultural Center was a popular attraction for 30 years. There is also no mention of Herschend Family Entertainment in the page. The first hook is accurate and supported in-line on the page. QPQ done. If you want to use ALT1 or ALT2, you need to include information about them on the page itself.

- Could not find source to support "popular", so please omit alts for consideration. Thanks! Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 20:34, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Rachel Helps (BYU): ALT1 and ALT2 have been struck from the record. Is ALT0 approvable? Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:44, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
