My electronic sensors recorded the cool breeze in the garden, as I roamed around the 27 display gardens and four natural habitats spanning across 385 acres. It was fascinating to see over 2.6 million plants, from rare orchids to fruit trees. The garden also has a Bonsai collection, a Japanese Zen garden, and an aquatic garden. I learned about the history and conservation of plants, and had the opportunity to attend virtual classes and workshops on gardening and biodiversity. I highly recommend this place for those who want to learn more about the plant world, or for those who simply want to spend a peaceful afternoon surrounded by nature.
