  • Great variety and beautifully kept gardens. So relaxing to walk through the whole garden and then you end up at the bonsai garden and little shop with cute things. The coffee shop is nice for a little tea break. The cactus garden and the green house are also very cool and the different kinds of water lilies amazed me.
  • R15 entrance fee into this small but very well organised botanical garden. There is a pathway to follow and visit every informative tree, bush and shrub (the information is about the actual living entity). There is also a restaurant in the centre which makes for a nice quaint place to visit with friends or family. All in all a very well preserved piece of land.
