Situated in St Andrews by-the-sea, the garden has over 2000 different shrubs and trees and plants. A few hours should be planned for this activity as there is a large area to cover. On the grounds are several ponds, a dutch windmill, a cafe and gift shop and a great variety of plants. Attracted by all the different goodies, butterflies, birds and insects have made the garden their home.
I especially enjoyed the Perennials, the Rose garden and the Herb gardens while listening to Tchaikovsky on hidden intercoms. Benches and fountains are scattered a little bit everywhere to make your visit the best.
The children are sure to enjoy `the Children Garden` where a play house built in 1894 was donated by the O`Neill family. Nearby is a Touch and Feel garden where children can play. Also Daisy, Dusty and Dolly the goats and the ducks will surely amuse all with their antics. And not to forget a energetic cat roaming the gardens which will make everyone laugh.
