The best and most beautiful botanical garden I ever seen. It’s free. I strongly recommend if you like flowers

Great place to visit when it ain't raining. Check out the pond there are cute ducks; you could also find squirrels roaming around if you search hard enough!

Plant lovers will definitely love this 27-acre garden , which has a collection of about 15,000 plant species (some of them extinct) from different parts of the world. Amazing greenhouses as well .

Fresh air , plenty of oxygen and beautiful nature. All together.

Free of charge, worth to spend a couple of hours. They have 2 free tours per day, check their website for more info. Hosts an internal cafe for rainy days, filled with cakes ❤️

The greenhouses / glasshouses are wonderful - I want one! Also, there is so much space to walk around and a lot to be learned by the way.

Take a stroll in the gardens on a Sunday afternoon for a free guided tour (12pm-2.30pm). Delfin approved ;)

You could and should spend the whole day here soaking up the colours and smells of this gem. It is unfortunate it is not spoken of enough.

The greenhouses are great. Watch out for the squirrels . They're not afraid of people at all - they will crawl on you!! :D
