Get ready to embark on a journey of relaxation and botanical learning in this urban oasis.

The Botanical Garden's Outdoor Expositions will embrace you in the vibrant tapestry of over 15,000 tree and flower species. You'll be captivated by the serenity of the meditative Japanese Garden, adorned with delicate blossoms of rhododendrons, peonies, and tender Japanese cherries.

The wonders of the Peony Meadow, the North American Prairie, the Ornamental Garden, and the Mediterranean will leave you awe-inspired – and these are just a glimpse of the many fascinating places awaiting your exploration.

But that's not all! In the enchanting Japanese Garden, you'll find an astonishing exhibition of Bonsai Trees, each boasting their own unique kind and size. These meticulously cultivated miniature masterpieces will leave you in awe of the artistry and dedication behind their creation. As you stroll through the garden, take the time to appreciate the intricate details of these miniature trees, carefully shaped and nurtured over time. The Bonsai Trees add an extra layer of charm to the already captivating Japanese Garden, making it a must-see highlight of your botanical journey.

Prepare to marvel at the treasures of the plant kingdom in every season, as each offers a unique spectacle to behold. But that's not all! Prepare for an enthralling voyage around the world within the Fata Morgana Greenhouse. This hour-long journey will introduce you to exotic gems from tropical rainforests, cloud forests, and the world's driest regions. Be captivated by the diverse array of tropical fish thriving in lush rivers and lakes, all while the melodious sound of an impressive waterfall creates a mesmerizing ambiance.

To discover all the plant beauties spread across nearly 30 hectares of the garden, you may easily spend between 4 to 6 hours; but no worries – there are also several options for refreshments, including drinks and simple food.
