Where is the Botanical Garden?
Many visitors wonder where the Botanical Garden is as they expect
it to be a distinct area of the Zoo. The truth is that as
soon
as visitors set foot in the Zoo,
they are also in the award-winning Botanical Garden, a living
museum of over
3,000
varieties
of plants
from around the world.
The overall purpose of the collection is to demonstrate the
diversity of plants and their relationships with human and
animal life, to establish
attractive and educational naturalistic settings for animal
exhibits, to promote conservation, to create beautiful garden
displays
and
an attractive park setting, and to grow and display a wide
diversity of outstanding plants for the education and cultural
benefit
of
people in the region.
