      The garden is currently somewhat different to previous years because they lost some big trees in a storm and are repairing several areas. Still a great place to visit though.

    I enjoyed our walk through the bioreserve when we were there, Graham. I think you mentioned that the flowers and plants change every so often and they bloom and die off accordingly. And the gardens do some improvements no doubt. Gorgeous pics from “your” garden. Love the lively gecko on the ginger bloom!

      This past year, they lost some large trees in a storm, so the garden is getting some big changes. It’s more open right now, but that’ll change as things start growing.
