★★★★★a month agoIt took me just over 3 hours to see nearly everything, tree's, plants, flowers, hostas, cactus and Birds, a young Green Woodpecker just left the nest, an Adult came down to guard it, a family of "Azure tit birds" one was nearly on my shoulder, 6 resident Bee Hives. Lots of seats and shade, an absolout must vist for colour, calm and bird sounds, also tropical fish in 1 pond. Something for everybody young and old.

★★★★★4 months agoThe botanic garden is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. It’s perfect for a relaxing walk, taking photos, or just enjoying nature away from the noise of the city. The plants and flowers are well kept, and there are many interesting areas to explore. The atmosphere feels calm and refreshing. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes nature or wants a nice place to spend a few quiet hours.
