The entire garden complex has well paved
pathways (see photo at left) for comfortable walking, quaint antique lamp posts (see photo above right)
and everywhere - absolutely everywhere -
there is a riot of colours vying for your attention.
The garden apparently was first home to fruit-laden trees & was later developed to include orchids and other flowers. During our visit, we say lychees on one tree and different hued blooms with fascinating designs on the petals. There were even pretty pink flowers nodding their pretty heads over a pond, as though trying to catch their own reflections!
See the photos below and you'll know what I am talking about...
