Why You Might Consider Alternatives

  • Be aware that shade is limited, and on a hot day, the sun exposure can be significant. Bring a hat and sunscreen.
  • While the garden is lovely, it is a smaller, almost self-contained part of a larger garden. Those looking for more diverse plant species might consider exploring other areas of the Botanic Gardens.
  • There are no specific prices or departments mentioned, so it's not a place for direct purchases.
