This is a great Botanical garden. I had planned to spend a morning there but I ended up spending the whole day. There is so much to do: gardens from countries and regions all over the world, a section for medicinal plants, poisonous plants, innovative gardening, aquatic gardening, rose gardens, flowering beds, orchards. The greenhouses have a wide selection of orchids that are changed frequently to provide flowering ones for display all the time. The butterfly house is small but nice. Most plants have labels so you know what they are.
