Overview
An expansive garden, the whole contains several interesting parts: Look for the Waterwise Garden, which demonstrates how to grow sun and shade plants without needless water consumption. Or, come summer, visit the fuchsia garden--it contains nearly 100 varieties, all being tested against shifts in light and temperature. In the Yao Japanese Garden, you'll find arrangements that follow traditional and contemporary Asian ideas about gardening. Elsewhere gardens feature colorful perennial borders and ground covers.
Features

This society has a public garden with everything you'd want--from plots of land to rent to professionally gardened seasonal flowers, fruits, and vegetable plants.

This place is, in every sense of the word, a sanctuary from our daily lives. Stop by and enjoy.

PROS: super learning experience CONS:
