The scenery of green plants, flowers, and trees with the mountain in the background is gorgeous! Our guide, Luke, was very knowledgeable about the flowers and plants and told us all about them! Luke took me and my sister on the steep hike up to the top of the mountain. He helped me climb up in some of the steep rocky places and was so helpful and kind. We made it all the way to the top and the view was stunning! Thank you Luke for helping me get there to see the incredible beauty! This is a beautiful garden and I loved every minute of it! I also loved the delicious fruit juice they give you before you leave. Highly recommend visiting this garden!
