The Beauty of Botanical Garden

BOTANICAL GARDEN

Botanical Garden is one of the most known parks in Baguio City for a long time. It is not a hard place to find if you are a newbie in Baguio. Just go straight to Leonard Wood Road or you can just hire a cab or ride a jeepney.

The famous landmark there is the main gate wherein you can see a sculpture. The sculpture portrays the cultures and beliefs of Igorot. You can also see old folk Igorots that wear the native attires of Cordilleran and they are willing to pose and take photos with you.

Botanical garden was also considered as a zoo. As a matter of fact it has a lot of names such as botanical and zoological garden, Imelda Park, Igorot village and Centennial Park. They named it Centennial Park because Baguio already reached its 100 years. However the people call it Botanical Garden.

Botanical Garden showcases a lot. You can see flowers, shrubs, pine trees, statues, sculptures, nipa huts and it has a lot of pathways.

It has also a mini tunnel and Pasalubong stalls that you can visit if you wish to buy things for your friends. It is a perfect place if you want to escape the usual noise that you hear in the city. It is an ideal place for soul searching and relaxation because it has a cool climate.
