About
Quick facts: You can stroll through over 22,000 different plant species arranged in carefully themed geographical and ecological sections. The sprawling gardens cover about 43 hectares, making it one of the largest botanical collections in the world.
Highlights: Catch the seasonal changes in the collection of over 8,000 types of plants in the Alpine Garden, including rare Edelweiss and vibrant orchids that bloom by early spring. A tucked-away pond reflects the historic greenhouses, creating perfect photo moments especially during golden hour when sunlight filters through.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes as paths cover extensive grounds and some areas can be uneven.
- Bring a camera for excellent shots near the historic greenhouses at golden hour.
- Avoid weekends to skip crowds especially in the tropical and alpine sections.
- Do not miss the special seasonal exhibits in greenhouses showcasing rare blooms and displays.
