We went to the botanical garden this thursday. It was an awesome experience to see around 6500 species distributed around the garden.This garden had a really good landscape design with all kinds of plants, so that those plants grew with each others harmoniously. Designer had well combined the primitive forest with the geometric shape of the garden design. This garden was founded in 1808 by King John VI of Portugal. Two rows of palm trees were the main feature of the garden. Those palm trees were so tall and they are standing straight like safe guards for this garden. From the picture below we could see how tall the palm trees were when we compared them to the size of us.
This botanical garden itself was huge, so it took a long time for us to walk around the garden. I think this garden is a wonderful place for photographing, especially for a newly married couple to have them photos taken.
This botanical garden is a nice place to walk and see rare tropical plants. It has a very ecological environment that I see monkeys climb between trees.
There is a big statue in the middle of the garden which is called the Fountain of the Muses. I have a sketch about it as following:
This botanical garden is a nature paradise conceived by the designer. It is definitely worth a visit!
