Initiated during the 1970s, the gardens house native flora and fauna and serve as a research facility as well as a bridge for fostering a more green approach to living. It offers an excellent opportunity to observe a wide range of botanical species. Lectures, workshops and camps for kids fill their summer program schedule, along with evening walks, morning bird-watching and floral shows on weekends.
