Overview

About this park

The gardens were constructed at the site of an old rock quarry.

Within the site there is very little soil, swampy areas along with higher elevated areas with large moss-covered boulders.

Vegetation abounds throughout the park and includes evergreen and deciduous trees, many wild shrubs, and swamp plants.
