These gardens are mostly trees and shrubs, the flowers were not very interesting but it was good to sit in the shade for a while. If you are an avid gardener then it's disappointing, not a patch on Kew!

The garden is at the other end of the city. Outside is an aqueduct, quite enormous. Inside is a quiet and serene garden full of green and beautiful flowers. At time, some trees haven't got their leaves, adding a dash of sadness but romantic.

A beautiful Botanic Garden in the center of city. Near the University. It's a place to wander, to read, to rest and try a adventure on top's trees.
