The Botanical Garden of Baguio City, when it comes to area, is really vast. One hour is not enough to roam around the whole park. I bet two hours is not enough, especially if taking pictures is a must-do. The garden is composed of 15 different sections. Each of them offers a picturesque view that one shouldn't be missed to take a photo with. Unfortunately, in my case, I missed four (4) parks/gardens and two (2) landscapes.
I wrote a separate blog on this one:
A Gardenscape: What to See at the New Baguio Botanical Garden.
But out of the parks I've been to, I enjoyed the Cactus and Succulent Garden more. The cactus and succulent are in a greenhouse. The structure is not massive, but it is spacious enough and the area has been filled and maximized. I was the only one who entered, and they were just waiting for me outside. I enjoyed everything - seeing different kinds of succulents and cacti in one place. They are neatly arranged. The majority are in pots, but some are planted on a garden plot at the center.
One of my favorite parts of the garden is the sungka and the two wooden hand chairs placed at the center. It brings back memories of when I always played that with my cousins.
Well, except for being drenched with sweat and the burning phone, all in all, I had a great time with these plants.
